Christmas Bells and Crazy for Canals focus on neighbouring communities of Milton Keynes with their ancient churches and old canal routes. Denbigh Hall and Goodbye Denbigh Hall – invariably performed as one song – show how the new railway caused both the demise and rise of local amenities; however, I Would Not Change a Thing is what the Locomotive Superintendent’s wife of the new Wolverton Works declares. Emberton and Field Song describe rural life in places now part of Milton Keynes’ Metropolitan Borough. The long-established businesses of the old coaching town of Stony Stratford feature in Waking Up and Stony High Street. The last two songs record a rescue and a loss: a little Victorian street that was saved by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation’s New City in Rainbow; and an old farm site, Sheltermore, on which Central Milton Keynes was built and which disappeared.
