Names from the Past ....

The pub at the Three Households that was demolished was Uncle Toms Cabin. I remember it vaguely as I went into it at a young age, Kids didn't really go in pubs in them days, Have great memories of sitting outside it.

Old records suggest Chalfont St Peter used to be known as 'the village of the seven pubs', which must have been an inordinately large ratio of pubs to villagers even back then.

Wandering down the High Street to just past the garage at Gravel Hill it used to be:

Bakers Arms (ex 5 Bells) (R), White Hart (L), Carpenters Arms (R), George (R), Greyhound (L), Kings Arms (R), Rose & Crown (L), Wagon & Horses (R), Coach & Horses, (R) ... add to them: Jolly Farmer, Three Pigeons

... some pub crawl.

I stand to be corrected but the Lower Road starts from Chiltern Hill towards Gerrards Cross, the High Street runs from the Waggon & Horses through to Chiltern Hill, and there was the Kings Arms and the Rose & Crown pubs more or less opposite each other, then as is today the Greyhound and The George, and the Carpenters Arms was approximately where HSBC is today (no eyesore of a precinct in those days) and of course Poachers was the Bakers Arms and then opposite as is today The White Hart, 7 pubs in the old High Street.

Andrews (Menswear) was The Mans Shop and was of course in the High Street.

Robertsons Butchers was run by Tom Robertson who still has a butchers in Little Chalfont to this day.

There was another butchers Allum & Glandfield next to Claydons (now Birrings) tucked back by where the Tile shop used to be.

So going on from here.
It seems there was a pub named “The five bells” it stood where “ The Bakers Arms “ used to be. In the early 1700’s.

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.

... back of the pet shop I think next to the newsagent by the vale,

I remember a pet shop about there, early 60's, had a brilliant parrot, "Good morning, can I help you" when you walked in ... sounded exactly like the owner.
