Milton Keynes: A 1967 film looks at the plans for the new town

Archive footage shows farmland and villages in an area that would become a city of more than 250,000 people.

Milton Keynes was born with an Act of Parliament in 1967, which approved the building of a new community covering 8,850 hectares (21,870 acres) in Buckinghamshire.

A report from the same year on BBC Rewind explained how farmers in the region would soon be out of business as their buildings "make way for boulevards".

It also envisaged a major new airport for London nearby and how existing villages would become the "Chelseas and Richmonds" of the new town.
