Were you there when the A38 made headlines?
We’re diving into the history of the A38 at our final Slimbridge Local History meeting on Wednesday 15th October—and we want your stories to help bring it to life.

📸 The 1960s saw powerful protests after a spate of serious accidents. Do you recognise anyone in these photos from the Dursley Gazette? Were you part of the movement?
We’re collecting:
🔹 Memories of the road and its changes
🔹 Photos, clippings, or stories from the protests
🔹 Recollections of the motorway being built or opened
🔹 Tales of the businesses that once lined the route
💌 If you’d like to contribute, email us at [email protected] with your contact details.

Let’s celebrate the road that shaped our community.
