*** NEW BOOK***
We are now completing the third book which will cover 1960 to 2003
Over 100 people have contributed to the book and have provided interviews or photographs of this time.
 We have put together a special display of some of the photos. Click here to see them in more detail. Use the slideshow view for the best display.
As well as these we have photos on many topics, including:-
- Special Events (eg The Queens Visit)
- Old Buildings(eg Firestation)
- New developments (Lordship & Manor Park development)

Examples of photos collected for previous books are shown throughout the site. On many of them, if you click on the picture, a larger version will popup.
This website introduces some of the stories we have collected so far. There are sections covering the main periods. In each of these are some of the stories and recollections from those times.
So far we have published two books. 'Letchworth Recollections' covers the period 1903 to 1939 and 'Letchworth Remembered' covers from 1939 to 1960.
