Pupils from York House School in Croxley have created a special time capsule which will remain unopened until 2094.
The time capsule was buried near Little Green Lane at a historic community event on Wednesday, November 20.
Pupils were asked to select items to include in the capsule, which is the size of a household bin, along with their reasons for doing so.
The theme was focused around preserving some of the everyday items we take for granted.
One pupil selected a bag of single-use plastics, including milk bottle tops and straws.
A spork was also included based on the current trend of the ‘working lunch’, with the suggestion that we may not have physical offices 70 years in the future.
Dr Matthew Glencross, a historian who teaches at York House, said: “The pupils have been really excited about the time capsule. It has given them the opportunity to think about all of those everyday items we take for granted and how these might have evolved in the future.”
