Eastern Dene
A Memory of Hazlemere.
Does anybody know anything about the history of Eastern Dene / Western Dene? I was told about the zoo that once stood on the site of the park primary/middle school, but I hear that a battle took place on Eastern/Western Dene. I lived in the Dene when I was a boy of 12 years old. My mate and I were digging a hole in the back garden, when we came across some bones. We thought that a dog may have buried them, only to discover what we think were in fact human bones. I also dug up a brass door knocker which I took to High Wycombe museum. It was photographed and recorded, and a plaster mould of its face was taken. The face resembled a cat's face and whiskers. I still have it somewhere!
If anybody reading this can help me with this history on the battle I would be grateful as this has interested me since then.
