BBC Radio Cambridgeshire “Village Voices of Haddenham”

Haddenham interviews

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire “Village Voices of Haddenham”

These recordings were for BBC Cambridge Radio with the interviewer was Paul Cobley, a well-known teacher of English and Drama.

An excellent programme of local people who gave their views of the village. Included are parish officials, children from the primary school, tours of the roads and lanes together with music chosen to fit the occasion. A real peep into rural life in the end of the twentieth century.

This was one of a series put out by BBC Cambridgeshire Radio in its early days, in the Eighties and it gave listeners an idea of some of the villages it covered.  Many of the participants are now no longer alive and so this record is especially valuable.

Dear Visitor,

Thank you for exploring historical Cambridgeshire! We hope you enjoy your visit and, if you do,  would consider making a donation today.

Capturing Cambridge makes accessible thousands of photos and memories of Cambridge and its surrounding villages and towns. It is run by the Museum of Cambridge which, though 90 years old, is one of the most poorly publicly funded local history museums in the UK. It receives no core funding from local or central government nor from the University of Cambridge.

As a result, we are facing a crisis; we have no financial cushion – unlike many other museums in Cambridge – and are facing the need to drastically cut back our operations which could affect our ability to continue to run and develop this groundbreaking local history website.

If Capturing Cambridge matters to you, then the survival of the Museum of the Cambridge should matter as well. If you won’t support the preservation of your heritage, no-one else will! Your support is critical.

If you love Capturing Cambridge, and you are able to, we’d appreciate your support.

Every donation makes a world of difference.

Thank you,
Roger Lilley, Chair of Trustees
Museum of Cambridge
