I lived in Quainton in the 1950s, on the corner of The Green and Lower St. My family had the drapers shop. I remember bonfire night on the green, rolling down Mill Hill, Christmas carols, ballet lessons in the church hall and sitting the 11+ exams at school and of being sent to the Sportsmans Inn for a packet of Woods...

I lived here! Ref. Photo O65003
These were Elmwood Cottages in the Worminghall Road. I was born in the far end house, and lived my first 25 years in the 8th semi along. My Mum and Dad would have had our house since new. It seems odd to think that we were probably at home when this was taken. They were demolished in 1984 to make way... [more]

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]
