More about this scene

East of the Misbourne, beyond Gravel Hill, Chalfont Common was one of Chalfont St Peter's three commons. To the north, the National Society for Epileptics, informally grouped round Arts and Crafts style houses and cottages, started in 1895 and still going strong. Housing of all sorts grew up on the rest of the Common and in this view Fernlea House, on the left, is from the 1890s while the pair of shops is from the 1960s, the stores now a Spar and the other shop a hair stylist.

I lived on Chesham Lane next to the old farm community called the oh that name is way back in my mind The place was next door to our house tennis courts on grass!!! A friend guy lived across from us. Best friends with Alan and Simon Good not related we used to play in the bomb shelters from WW2 I loved it there in the countryside riding bicycle all around exploring miles of beautiful fields and estates. Gypsy's were in the woods and I would visit them. Please contact me for old times sake!
