Duston History Society
The Society is a small friendly group that was inaugurated in 2016. The Society has changed the name from Duston Local History Society to Duston History Society. This was because they had very few new speakers for topics on Duston itself and have opened our programme to a wider range of history.
Each year the Society arranges a coach tour for members and in 2025 visited Hendon RAF Museum. Talks have ranged from historic bus transport to Operation Market Garden in WW2. It has also refurbished and replaced a plaque on a shop in Duston that was placed there to commemorate the life of Lady Diana.
Meetings
There are nine evening meetings a year and one coach trip to a place of historical interest to members. They meet on the second Monday of each month, gathering at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. The meetings are held at the St Crispin's Social Club on junction of Berrywood Road and The Drive.
Membership
Meetings £3 entry, payable on the door, which includes entry onto the mailing list.
