Talk: Amersham in the 1960s and 1970s
£13 including wine or soft drink
The 1960s & 1970s saw dramatic changes in British society and these were reflected here in Amersham. The growth in housing, changes in shopping & retail habits and in transport all combined to make Amersham a vibrant community nestling in the Chilterns at the end of the Met Line. Pete Healy gives a flavour of what life was like over these important decades.
