STONY WORDS: Bygone Stony Stratford in pictures

The highly-popular Bygone Stony photo exhibition returns this week, with more photos and news clippings and less Blu-Tack, capturing Stony Stratford from Victorian times to not-so-long-ago.

Pop along to York House Centre on Saturday (Jan 21)  or Sunday (January 22) and who knows, you might spot your granny, or possibly yourself at York House youth club or at St Mary’s School, or in one of the lost pubs, or on a tram to Wolverton!


Photos have all been donated by local residents and ex-residents.

There are around 200 items, with some absolute gems to be seen – the trams, the old pubs and shops, the long-gone houses and cottages, Jubilee and other celebrations, soldiers marching to war, and a High Street with NO TRAFFIC, save for a horse and cart!


The Saturday will be in the ground-floor Beechey Room, so please use rear entrance. On Sunday the event moves to the main hall allowing for more space.

Entry is free, but a little donation to York House’s community projects would be appreciated.
