I dug into our archives and discovered these fascinating pictures which throw a must-see spotlight on Milton Keynes over the years

Our latest retro gallery shows you life in Milton Keynes, and surrounding area, down the decades.

The eye-catching images feature a railway crash at Bletchley in 1939 which killed four people, a dance competition at Bletchley Road County Secondary School and how Bletchley looked 55 years ago.

There is also pictures as the Open University came into existence in town and PM Margaret Thatcher shopping in Milton Keynes. There’s that and more in this superb retro gallery.

You can get plenty more local retro content over on our website.
