This year marks a remarkable milestone as Stewartby celebrates its centenary, 100 years since the village was established in 1926 for workers of the London Brick Company.

To mark the occasion, the "100 Years of Stewartby History" exhibition will take place at Stewartby Village Hall on Saturday 5 September, 12pm to 4pm.

With free entry, visitors can explore memorabilia from the past century, see historic footage, learn more about the village's fascinating heritage, and discover the story of the community that grew alongside one of Britain's most famous brickmaking industries.

As custodians of local railway and industrial heritage, everyone at Ridgmont Station Heritage Centre is delighted to see this important milestone being celebrated and would encourage anyone with an interest in local history to pay a visit.

Congratulations to Stewartby on 100 years of history, community and heritage!
