Our latest plaque, unveiled on 29th May 2018 in the High Street, commemorated the Brittain family business that had been in existence since 1904 and was the longest running family business in the town. Sadly since the closure of Brittain's and the introduction of 6 new shops this plaque is no longer in place.
On Wednesday 16th November 2016 a plaque was unveiled at St Neots Fire Station in honour of 3 men who collectively have fought as firefighters in Cambridgeshire for over 100 years – Tony Housden, Michael Housden and Mervyn Housden.
