Amersham 1897

Buckinghamshire Sheet 43.05 Amersham 1897 - published 1994; intro by Elizabeth Lockwood. This detailed map covers the 'old town' of Amersham, shortly before the great changes brought by the Metropolitan Railway. The station, opened in 1892, is in the NE corner, some distance from the town which is centred on the High Street. Features here include St Mary's church, Workhouse, Town Hall, malthouse, Crown Farm, Bury Farm, River Misbourne, brewery, cemetery, Whielden Street. To the east is Bury End, with Bury Mill, but otherwise Amersham appears as a small country town. A 1903 directory of Amersham is on the reverse.
