This is the story of those villages now engulfed by Milton Keynes. A time when all the cows were real. Compiled in the late 1970s the content was serialised in the local press, and the contemporary descriptions refer to that period. A time when Milton Keynes Development Corporation was everywhere and anywhere - and would be for many years to come. This then is the bygone Milton Keynes. Written by one who remembers a time when all the cows weren't concrete.
