Soham in the 1950sSoham Museum has been working on a new book about life in Soham in the 1950s and we would love to share any memories you have of Soham as it was then, especially stories about the local social scene. We know there are a lot of unseen photographs out there as well and it would be lovely if you would choose to share these with people through our book so they could see Soham as it was 'back in the day'.

Does your house have a story to tell?Soham Museum buildings survey is a huge project that will take a number of years to bring together. It is our aim to create an archive of Soham as it is today, focusing on the older buildings and making a record of them before they are altered or disappear altogether. You may have seen us taking photographs in your street over the years, and we would like to thank those of you who have taken the time to come and talk to us about what we are doing. If your house has a story to tell, we would love to hear from you.
More Soham at War
We are always interested in adding your stories to the unique experience that was Soham during the war years. Soham Museum has already published two extremely successful books of local wartime memories 'Soham at War' and 'Soham on the Home Front'. It would be great if we could get enough stories and pictures together to publish one more episode. If you have a family memory or story to share, we'd love to hear from you. Do you have a story about Soham during the war?
