Nostalgic memories of Bassingbourn's local history

Share your own memories of Bassingbourn and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I worked for three years at RAF Bassingbourn for Airwork Services and enjoyed my time in the village, plenty of pubs in those days, one was just outside. Does any one remember which pub featured in a film about the war called either 'The Battle of Britain', 'The Dambusters' or 'Reach for the Sky'?
