We hope everyone had a great time at the XTC Fan Festival over the weekend! If you came into Local Studies on Saturday as part of the scavenger hunt, please tag us in your photos – we’d love to see them! Special thanks to the kind fans who gave these goodies for our collection.

This photo of the Belsen Jewish Memorial at the site of the Bergen-Belsen POW and concentration camp comes from a remarkable set of WW2 photographs by Swindonian Mr R. Partridge that were shared with us during our ‘Swindon at War’ weekend in 2010. #HMD2025
