The blocked up arch in the corner here is where a low side or “leper” window once was, but nobody knows what it was for. There are lots of theories... Continue reading

When I look at this house in Winslow High Street, I don’t think of its Georgian style 19th Century frontage and the large, timber framed 17th Century building behind it, I think of my uncle Dick and aunt Julie, who once lived there. Continue reading

Shopping for Clues

This is a commonly seen sort of a building; a house that’s been converted into a shop. Now the sign board above the shop window has gone, we can see how this Victorian house has been modified. Continue reading

Cross country in Milton Keynes

Two footpaths converged on bridge 89 of the Grand Union canal before Milton Keynes came, and a surprising amount of their routes can still be found. Continue reading

Turning the Corner

It’s not uncommon to find a sharp bend on a country road with a farm gate on it, like this one. It’s almost as if the road once carried straight on. That’s because very often, it did. Continue reading
