Numerous #WomensInstitutes produced scrapbooks in 1965, marking 50 years of WIs in Britain and giving a vivid snapshot of life in villages and towns. This one from Cheriton WI includes samples of home dressmaking fabrics (81M73/Z1) #hampshirearchives #hbah1960s #CheritonHampshire

Scoured files from 50s/60s today from old Hartley Wintney Rural District Council in #HampshireArchives in Winchester. #ExploreYourArchive Inspired by @municipaldreams #MunicipalDreams - John Boughton's "A History of Council Housing in 100 Estates": Mine is Manor Park council estate, Yateley, Hampshire: Nan moved in Day 1, 1952; Mum soon follows; I'm back again years later - it's home. Hope to discover much more; not sure where it will take me.
