Meldreth Women’s Institute have created scrapbooks full of Meldreth photographs and information for many years. They provide a valuable insight into village life at the time they were created.

The WI kindly loaned the albums to Meldreth Local History Group who have digitised them and will be creating a separate page on each scrapbook.

The following photo gallery has been compiled from the images and records in the 1977 scrapbook.
