Lantern Festivals (Collection LAF)

INT/016

As part of Wolverton’s 150th anniversary celebrations in 1988, Inter-Action organised lantern-making workshops with residents in Wolverton and New Bradwell creating their own tissue and withy lanterns lit by candles that were paraded to Wolverton Park. These lantern festivals became regular events, and Inter-Action continued to organise them, later on at the Old Rectory. There ...
November 5th (Collection NOV)

Following on from the successful shows in 1978-79 organised by Welfare State International, Inter-Action organised November 5th shows in 1981, 1982 and 1983. Each show involved burning a model of Parliament, effigies of Guy Fawkes and current politicians, and fireworks. One year the show had to be moved as it was discovered to be on ...
Milton Keynes - Or How To Concoct The Name Of A City (30 January 1976)

TRM/153

Iron Bridge Built For Horse-Drawn Wagons (24 January 1976)

TRM/152

I see that Tickford Bridge is in the news again. This time it is not directly threatened with demolition, as it was in 1967. Apparently the authorities are merely examining the advisability of strengthening it further, in case the cast-ironwork should crack under ever-increasing road loads. In fact, it was wonderful how the bridge stood up ...
Movies - Part Of The Great American Myth (16 January 1976)

TRM/151

The Tombstone Epitaph is dead. It died in 1975. It is a pity it did not last to 1976. For this is America’s Bicentennial Year and the Epitaph was the local newspaper for Tombstone, Arizona, where part of what has been called the Great American Myth was born. The Daily Express, reporting the death, said: “The ...
