An original photo from 1935, though no idea where, but promised that it was Chalfont St Peter!
Best guess so far (thank you Artb) - early morning picture across the Misbourne Valley taken from somewhere between Gravel Hill & Water Hall from the Amersham Road Edited by watsy - 01 June 2017 at 8:26am |

A view of the precinct before it was there, with the bus stop and River Misbourne fully covered. Looks rather nice doesn't it!! Edited by watsy - 06 June 2017 at 11:17am |

An aerial view of Chalfont St Peter. Another guess the date that will keep you busy over the weekend, also working out where your house is or should be! I know the White Hart used to have this photo or something similar and I often found myself staring at it.
Edit : Thanks again to Art who found a great stash of aerial photos of the village https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/search?keywords=chalfont&country=global&year=all so it is 1931.

A couple of great pictorial history postcards for the weekend by local artist Maureen Marsh. So the Misbourne started to be covered in 1904 which will help date a lot of the postcards I have / will post of the Greyhound / Misbourne.
