This part of my site is devoted to Packhorse Road, Gerrards Cross, April 2002 with updates in 2008 and 2009.
| 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. The walk starts at the Common at the south end of the village. You can start by looking at the west side (2009) as we travel from the Packhorse to the Ethorpe, or you can start with the east side (2008) from the Common as far as the Barclay's old building. My thanks are due to
Brian
Davies and
Mike Sandover
who both provided much useful historical material. |
