Have You Any Old Photos Of Long Leys?

by Leave a Comment

As work continues on the 2021-2040 Long Leys Neighbourhood Plan, it has been helpful to understand how our community developed over the decades. This has turned up some great photos and maps. It’s got us thinking whether there are other interesting photographs of the area stored in old photo albums, which we could share with the community. If you have any old photos of Long Leys that you are willing to share then please email them to npag@long-leys.org.

Below we share some of those we have already.
