This week’s Flashback Friday takes us back to Chalvey.
The captions accompanying these photographs were compiled by local historian Reg Harrison, who documented the area’s changing landscape through his photographs of old and new buildings. Reg’s family kindly donated his albums to our archives, enabling us to share this amazing collection with a wide audience. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the information provided is accurate, there may be occasional anomalies.

2026 theme:
Dyslexia in real life: At work
5 to 11 October.

This year, Dyslexia Awareness Week will focus on dyslexic adults and their experiences of work and the workplace.

Dyslexic employees bring valuable skills, experience and different ways of thinking. But when workplaces are not designed with different needs in mind, unnecessary barriers can make it harder for people to show what they can do.
