news - from the early years

The links below are to copies of the early Annual Reports of CPRE Northamptonshire. They take a few seconds to load (depending upon your connection speed), but they are a fascinating insight into the campaigns of our founders.
They are taken from the collection of Keith Allsop, a volunteer both now and then.
