A trip down memory lane..

We've been digging through our collection and came across these wonderful old shop front photographs. It's fascinating to see how our high streets have changed over the years.

Do you recognise these shops?

Calling all Ex-Pupils and Staff of Eynesbury Church of England Primary School!

Eynesbury Primary School pupils are working on a project to discover and record the history of their school. They are hoping ex-pupils and staff will share memories of their school days to add to the school archives and use in an exhibition at St Neots Museum this summer.

Did you have a favourite teacher or school trip? Maybe you remember a particular lesson or the school lunches.

They'd really appreciate your help. Ex-pupils and staff should send their memories to [email protected]

Did you know that one of Britain's most remarkable female pilots was born in St Neots?

Winifred "Winnie" Crossley was born in St Neots, the daughter of Dr E. H. Harrisson, the local doctor famous for delivering the St Neots Quads. Long before women were widely accepted in aviation, Winnie was breaking barriers in the skies.

Her remarkable story is told in Hurricane Girl: The Life and Career of Pioneer Airwoman, Winifred Crossley by James Brown – a fitting tribute to a pioneering aviator and a proud daughter of St Neots. Published 30 June 2026.
