The Making of Milton Keynes
Diversity and Achievement
Peartree Bridge Centre
During the late 1970s and early 80s this youth club became the hub of local music. A compilation album of local bands 'A Warped Sense of Human' was released in 1981 and highlighted by John Peel on his legendary late night Radio 1 show.
Did you Know.....?
Channel 40 was a community cable television experiment from 1976-79. Residents were encouraged to make their own programmes using very cumbersome portable black and white reel-to-reel video cameras - the best the domestic market could offer in those days!
