This part of my site is devoted to Packhorse Road, Gerrards Cross, April 2002 with updates in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
The east side walk is entirely new in 2011. New photos, new layout,revised text!
| Most of the site
takes you on a walk,
illustrated with pictures and words, through Gerrards Cross along
Packhorse Road, the main shopping and commercial street.
It has been put together in response to a question from an American friend who left Gerrards Cross in the mid 1970s - "Has Packhorse Road changed much?" - and highlights many of the changes, but does not claim to mention every change, that has affected Packhorse Road. For those
whose
geography is, shall we say, not their strong point Gerrards Cross is in
Buckinghamshire, a county of England. This small town lies about
20 miles west of London. You can
start by
looking at the west side
(2009) as we travel northwards from
the common to the Ethorpe Hotel, or you can start walking southbound by
looking at the east
side (2011) from Barclay's
old building.to the Common. You may want to go my home page to pick up the story iof the Tesco tunnel. My thanks are due to
Brian
Davies and
Mike Sandover
who both provided much useful historical material. |
