The RG10 Podcast - featuring the people, places and events of interest across our area of the Thames Valley
S12 Ep 4 - What Was Twyford Like 50 Years Ago?
Welcome to the RG10 podcast! In this episode, we delve into some surprising events of the past and the present in Twyford. We start with reports of recent vandalism targeting public property and a tree planting project. However, you might be surprised to learn that these issues aren't new.
We're taking a trip back to 1974, exploring the first-ever edition of the Twyford Parish Newsletter. Unearthed from the archives of the revamped Twyford library, these newsletters give us a fascinating glimpse into Twyford's history, highlighting recurring issues such as vandalism, public behaviour, and community efforts.
Join us as we set the scene with a bit of 1974 UK trivia, discuss significant local developments like the opening of the Twyford footbridge, and revisit long-standing community concerns from street lighting dilemmas to the struggles of local clubs. We'll also reminisce about the grand events at the Twyford Fete, including daring performances that would amaze even today’s audiences.
Tune in for a mix of nostalgia, local history, and reflections on how some things in Twyford have changed over the past 50 years while others remain surprisingly familiar.
