Bedfordshire memories
Great Aunty Liza lived in an area called Buckland Wharf in a long, low, white bungalow where time stood still except the Grandfather Clock ticked in her "parlour" to tell us otherwise. The room was very dark because the blinds were drawn "to keep out the sun". There was a heavily framed picture of her husband on the wall- a severe... [more]

HALTON 1978-1983: PLAYING IN THE CANAL & SCHOOL
My name is Forsyth now, but I was a Plumb.
I moved to Halton when I was six and joined Halton 1st School and then Wendover Middle School.
I lived in the big black and white house, which bordered the canal. There was a bridge, which my friends and I used to climb along. I expect it’s not that high,... [more]

Aylesbury Photographic Memories
Moving east, the route passes through Whitchurch on its way back to Aylesbury. Whitchurch is a long village with many fine houses and cottages, and also the remains of Hugh of Bolbec's early 12th-century earthwork castle.

Aylesbury Photographic Memories
The Black Boy is on the left, with the Victorian school, now a house, beyond the car. The ugly lean-to on the cottage has been replaced by a conservatory, and the railings by a rubble stone wall.
