Histon and Impington Village Society have organised a Jubilee Memories Exhibition from Friday 3rd June to Sunday 5th June in the Community Room at the Recreation Ground.

It has been the perfect opportunity to bring the society’s much treasured archives out of storage to share wonderful village memories of coronations and jubilees in years gone by. We hope the exhibition will be great for all ages, providing an opportunity to learn about celebrations in our villages before our time, and to have fun spotting friends and family in the more recent images. The exhibition will cover the 1953 Coronation, as well as the Jubilees in 1935, 1977, 2002 and 2012 all focussing on what happened in our villages on those days.

A vast number of photos will be showcased together with tables of local jubilee and coronation memorabilia to pick up and flick through, as far ranging as the minutes of the 1977 H&I jubilee committee to a resident’s scrapbook of her experience on coronation day. Items such as the mugs given out to pupils of the village school in 1953 and a coronation mug dug up only last month in a garden in Histon will be on display.
