My abiding memory of Ampthill is when I used to go to the Saturday pictures with my cousins and the fire engine would be called out. The only problem was the siren that called them out was the old wartime air-raid siren. What a noise !!! I lived in Maulden but often visited Ampthill. thanks for the memories. !!!

The name of the cinema was The Zonita, now a supermarket. I travelled by bus from Flitwick each Saturday and walked home......about 2 miles. This was during the war
