The plantation stores...... The corner shop.......Heaths store.
I seem to remember something about a hut......??? But, thinking of "The Hut". Was there a bit of a provisions store, up Chalfont common way? Somewhere near Cross lanes called "The hut" |

It's a free country, adopt whatever PC stance you want. Just don't tell me which stance I should take just because it clashes with your opinion. |

The hut had a corrigated roof and was in a patch of roughly kept ground but could be clearly seen from the pavement.
I also remember Johns transport cafe. I lived on gravel hill just along from there I think Jack Taylor the farmer lived next door to it.What happy memories in Deanacre cottages could go on for ever. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. |

Arr, that hut, that was in the apple orchard. Tommy ......... Lived there. He was a runner, he could be seen running to Amersham every day. He was a plumber I think, not very tall around 5'3". If Tobic was still around, he could tell you, he used to work in the machine shop next door |
