Buckinghamshire memories
We were very lucky to grow up in Stone at a time when we could hang out all day with our friends enjoying the joys of the river at Eythrope, sipping cool water from the Egyptian Springs, or swinging on a rope over the dip in Bluebell Woods, there was always someone to play with and just chat about nothing. Idyllic... [more]

I was born in Princes Risborough and fondly remember as a young boy going into the shop with the bay window (shown on the right of your picture) to buy sweets and giggle at the young girls. The shop was known locally as 'Blue Kettle Jacks' although it was properly known, I think, as The Old Blue Kettle.

William Russell Wilson Bligh came to Australia and was living with his Uncle Sir Maurice O'Connell at Tarmons in Sydney in 1845. I have a copy of a letter written that expresses her concerns about her 18year old son and the way he is neglecting his family duty by not paying his uncle his due from his newly earned wages. He...

Amersham, Chesham And Rickmansworth Photographic Memories
This view, also taken from an upstairs window of the Griffin, looks into Broadway, much changed in the 1930s and 1940s. Until 1939 the buildings on the right faced Church Alley and the backs of ranges of cottages a few feet away, demolished in that year. Originally medieval and Tudor encroachments onto the old market place, these cottages hid the east view of the 1682 Market House. To the right, further cottages went in 1949 to... [more]

Amersham, Chesham And Rickmansworth Photographic Memories
Looking beyond the medieval parish church the building on the hill behind is the Georgian rectory built in the 1730s by the Rev Benjamin Robertshaw, overlooking the town and away from its bustle and smells. Very much the rectory of a prosperous country gentleman and clearly not that of a worker priest! The church has many fine monuments, mostly to the Drake family of Shardeloes, while to its right are the former Weller's Brewery buildings, now... [more]

Amersham, Chesham And Rickmansworth Photographic Memories
Looking west past the Memorial Gardens, the white building on the far hill, just to the left of the church tower, is Shardeloes, the Georgian mansion of the lords of the manor. Designed in the 1760s by the splendidly-named architect Stiff Leadbetter for William Drake, it replaced a 1630s house and was completed and decorated by Robert Adam. The Georgian stables and service buildings, designed by Francis Smith of Warwick and added to the... [more]
