On Monday, 23 January 2017 – Milton Keynes turned 50 years old. Celebrations have been held in one of the UK’s fastest-growing towns. Milton Keynes might have its detractors and critics – especially for the famous concrete cows and the endless roundabouts but many businesses have used MK as their home to make their money and there has been plenty of impressive history about MK. For example, did you know that Cliff Richard used the City Centre in MK to record his music video of the 1981 hit ‘Wired for Sound?’Another 1980s landmark that made its impact on UK society was the opening of ‘The Point’ – Britain’s first multiplex cinema. As Milton Keynes turns 50, I look back at some of its historical landmarks and events over the years.
