70th Anniversary of Patchway 1953 - 2023

2023 marked the 70th Anniversary of Patchway and the 70th year since the Almondsbury Parish Ward of Patchway became a Parish in its own right in 1953.


The Town Council ran a series of events and initiatives to commemorate and celebrate this significant moment for the town.

A Platinum Postcard for Patchway

To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Patchway, the Town Council invited residents and young people to design a postcard to celebrate what Patchway means for them and we are delighted to share the postcards we received.

The Patchway Memory Wall

Residents young and a little older sent us their memorable images of Patchway from across many decades and we have been delighted to share these memories with the whole community.


Can you spot someone you used to know, or a building you used to work in across these fabulous images!
