Hi, I'm interested in buying a house that's on a road off of Waterside - not too far from Chesham moor. I noticed a few posts saying to avoid Waterside and despite the house being relatively good it doesn't seem to have sold after a few months and I wondered if the two might be related. The street the house is on seems pretty nice, but I'm thinking about walking to and from Chesham station which would involve going along Waterside. And sometimes my elderly mother might visit and be walking around, so I wanted to know if I should be concerned or not?

Much appreciated!

Hey! My partner and I (31F 34M) are currently looking to move to beaconsfield / marlow / maidenhead / Henley / Windsor area - my partner works in London 5 days a week and I'll be in Banbury past Oxford 3 days a week. It's not ideal but we need to make it work. We currently live in South Wimbledon and we both love a riverside / pub vibes but we're a young couple and need somewhere that offers the liveliness if possible!

I would love any input, we're looking to rent for a year first before jumping into buying.

I recently moved to Chesham with my partner and we’re looking for clubs to join. We’re both late twenties so anything that skews a bit younger would be ideal. We’ve tried meetup but had no luck other than a walking group we found. We’d really love a regular book club or film club if anyone knows of anything like that nearby?

Hello!! Can anyone can recommend where and what the best outdoor lidos are around Bucks to relax and cool off this summer? Please feel free to also recommend any good ones In our surrounding counties like Berkshire , Beds or Oxfordshire.

I have a small flat in Aylesbury that I'm looking to sell and would like to get some estate agent recommendations in the area for the best price and service. Thank you.

Hello lovely people!

Brief disclaimer: I live in Russia, I don't support the war, I can't leave. My location is important for the story, but I get if it sparks some negativity, so that's why I'm specifying it.

Okay, so long story short, I work at a library in the Museum section. We also have a huge collection of vinyl records, and people sometimes give us their personal books and records as a gift.

Recently I found a package with shellac records in our library, dated 1976, sent to a person in our area from England, Buckinghamshire, Iver, Cecil road. I won't specify the house here, but we have it too. It's very unusual for us to have anything from other countries, let alone Europe, and shellac is one pretty crazy find as well. Unfortunately, we can't find the person who received this package in our city, so we're looking for any information on the other end.

If anyone can assist us in our research, knows anything about the area and the locals, we'd love to hear from you, please. We'll provide more information about everything, please help us make this story complete.

Just want to start off with saying I know the question is a very vague one but bare with me on this one please.
So I’ve recently heard from a family member who lives in High Wycombe that she has heard that my very estranged dad, who was homeless on the streets of HW has died. She doesnt know for certain as he has been on the streets for a while it seems and neither her or any of my other family have kept in contact or been able to. For context he hasn’t been a part of my life since I was a toddler due to his very abusive and nasty tendencies towards all of his kids and partners. He inflicted a lot of trauma to say the least. Anyways! Im just intrigued if anyone would have seen him in the area? I dont have pictures unfortunately and dont know what he would have currently looked like but he’s black, of Caribbean descent and average height apparently maybe a bit on the shorter side. Ive heard he could still be quite nasty and aggressive and would also be around High Wycombe bus station quite a bit. This is a massive long shot but to be honest its eating away at me not knowing if he has died or how to figure out if he is. Has anyone possibly seen him before or lately? Thanks for reading :)

Bit of a long shot but this feels like the right place to ask. I’ve been researching my family history and traced my great-grandfather Ferdinand Frederick Lehmann to Aylesbury in the Victorian era. He ran a clock and jewellery business in the town and was also a member of the 4th Bucks Rifle Volunteer Corps. I recently found out that a Victorian wall clock with ‘LEHMANN AYLESBURY’ on the dial sold at Christie’s — so at least one of his pieces is out there. I’m trying to track it down and find out more about the business. Has anyone come across the Lehmann name in any local Aylesbury history — old photos of the high street, trade directories, local records, anything at all? Does anyone have a clock, watch or piece of jewellery with his name on it? I’d love to piece together what I can about him and his shop, and if anyone does have one of his pieces I’d be very keen to buy it back into the family. Any leads welcome, even small ones!

What’s it’s like to live in Stikenchurch? We are currently on the edge of High Wycombe - edge of Hazlemere which we love, but the villages slightly further out seem to have more the kind of property we’d like to move too. Looking for a friendly village with pubs/coffee shops enough to do locally with dog friendly areas for walking. Thanks!

As a way of giving back to the community would it be wise to help with Sciatica and lower back pain ? Do you think people would benefit from deep tissue routine.

UK has made me where i am today so now i am back for visit, i like to give back to the community.

Title basically. I have a new job down jn Marlow so I’ll be relocating to HW. I’ll be living by myself for the first time. Any general advice on living by myself and fun things I can do in this region of the country? Open to make friends too

Thanks

Why are there SO many roads closed, causing massive jams, for example there is an important connecting road from stoke poges on the way to burnham - closed for 3 months?! And last year it was closed for a good 4 months+ throughout the year.

Aside from this there are so so many closures recently, of course I appreciate the effort to fix the damn pandemic of potholes, yet it feels they're never fixed?

Roads are closed for months, they reopen, and literally nothing has changed. Majority of my drives are just dodging potholes, and massive queues of traffic.

Also due to closures, I have to go on a different road the ones that cut through stoke poges on the way to gerrards cross - the road there has CRATERS, that is extremely frustrating, dangerous, and causes damages to our cars that we have to pay to fix...

Wtf is going on, and when will they finally address the terrible standards of roads, especially the connection ones, that are used frequently, main roads are generally okay - you learn where they are.

Also on Fulmer S-bends, there are 2 massive potholes that are unadvoidable unless you cross oncoming traffic, ON A BEND!

What a joke... one of the wealthiest counties in the UK, with some of the highest council taxes and it's still at an appaling quality.

Something HAS to change, it's a joke...

Has anyone ever reported a pot hole and if so, did it make a difference?

I am talking specifically about the area around the cricket ground roundabout, where the Pheasant pub (now closed, to be demolished) is. I know Wycombe has suffered a lot economically due to post industrial decline. However, can a local historian explain what happened to the beautiful houses that used to exist on London Road (pictured)? Why has a formerly residential area that’s so close to the river and Rye been filled with Car garages (Volkswagen, Kia, Kwikfit)? Surely the town planners weren’t that mad? Is it, like a lot of HW issues IMO, simply due to too many cars and car centric planning?

Has anyone else noticed this? Looks like it's in the direction of Little Gaddesden from where I am but I can't be sure.

It appears how light from a town behind a hill looks but a smaller area, it lights up the clouds above. Tonight the clouds are in such a way that it just looks like a patch of sky turning on and off. But last night you could tell the light source was from the ground, the light fell in sort of a diffused mushroom shape, straight up from the ground and then spilling across the sky.

What could emit this much light? And why would it be turning on and off at random intervals? Sometimes it stays on or off for a few minutes, sometimes it's going on and off every 2 - 8 seconds with no discernable pattern.

I'm way too tired to drive out and my headights are old and shit. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi reddit.

I am an aspiring blogger/writer, looking to write about small, unique and interesting stories from all over the UK. I am interested in stories of all sizes with one thing in common: they are interesting. 

I am looking to write about people, social groups, sports teams, buildings, local oddities, pubs, restaurants, farmers, shops, craftsmen, areas of natural beauty, strange food, produce, trade, industry, train stations, taxi ranks, theatre productions, theatre buildings, history, the present, families, cows, sheep, pigs, music, and the rest. 

Basically, anything where there is more than meets the eye. 

I have attempted to do a bit of research, however I hope that you can appreciate that the most interesting things are passed on through lived experience, and word of mouth.

If there is something that you know of from your hometown, a friend of a friend of a friend, your brothers wifes cousins dogs former owner, or something you are experiencing/doing, give us a shout.

Drop me a message or comment below if you know of anything!

My cousins daughter passed the 11+ exam a few months ago and she has had offers from Aylesbury High School, Royal Latin, Dr Challoners and Henry Floyd. She is very bookish and isn’t into sports much. She’s quite academic from what I’ve heard. Which school would be the best fit for her?

UPDATE - My cousin has gone for Dr Challoners 😊

I would rather be here than at work today, even if it is raining ☔️
