Windham Life and Times – August 23, 2024

I just came across these incredible aerial photos of Windham at:  VintageAerial.com photo 77-PRO-17 from 1966 in Rockingham County, NH. Copyright © Vintage Aerial.

There are many images of Windham available to purchase.  What is great about these images is that they are from the 1960’s, which was just before the major development hit the town. This photograph shows the Windham Plaza Shopping Center that was developed by Paul Clancy in 1965. It included the Windham Dipper Super Market, the town’s first pharmacy, and the Plaza Coffee Shop and Bakery. Later, Tony’s Barber Shop opened in the plaza. The whole shopping center became affectionally known as “The Dipper.”

There is a Turner Dairy Truck delivering milk in the parking lot.  The cemetery wall would later become a local hang-out with 100’s of youths loitering there.
