Archaeology & History in Leighton Buzzard and District

Welcome to the official website of the Leighton Buzzard & District Archaeological & Historical Society (LBDAHS).

The Society was formed in 2006 by a merger of the Leighton Buzzard & District Archaeological Society and the Leighton Linslade Local History Research Group, both groups having been involved in local research for a number of years. Our focus is on the local landscape, with research into how human activity has changed that landscape and the impact that local people and industries have made.

The Society welcomes anyone interested in learning about the past of our area. It is not important what skills you bring. Contact us if you'd like to become more involved in the history of Leighton Buzzard - you might even learn a thing or two!

Requesting Your Old Photographs…

This is an appeal to members of the public to dig out any old photographs they have of local sporting events, club and society outings, amateur dramatics, carol singing, the Boxing Day walk, maypole dancing, local bands, pub quizes, Morris dancers, tossing the pancake, cinemas, dance halls, street parties etc. In fact anything that is not to do with work.

Please contact Maureen Brown, 25 Rothschild Road, Leighton Buzzard, Beds, LU7 2SY if you have anything which may be suitable. We will copy and return original photographs.
