The Stoke Goldington Association (SGA) was set up in 1987 to record the changes the new Milton Keynes City would inevitably bring to the local area as it developed, as well as documenting previous historical changes:-

  • In 1830 Stoke Goldington was a staging post on the north south mail routes, having seven coaching inns but…
  • by 1845 all the coaching business had disappeared with the development of railways and canals.
  • In the 1841 census there were  247 lace makers recorded but…
  • by 1891 there were only 27.

The SGA now has an impressive Archive of local history information on places, people and events , housed in the communal Reading Rooms in the High Street and available to members of the local community for interest and research. read more…
