As recently as the early 1900’s, you didn’t need to venture far out of London to find open fields. Areas like Wembley and Harrow were undeveloped. Familiar names on the Tube Map today, were small isolated towns or villages.

What we now know as Old Amersham is long established having been mentioned as Agmodesham in the Domesday Book. But, prior to the railways arrival, there were only a scattering of buildings in what is now Amersham-on-the-Hill, Chesham Bois and Amersham Common, with even less at Little Chalfont. Their development came about due to an early twentieth century phenomenon, Metro-land or as we now know it Metroland.

Copies of our new book signed by the contributors, All Aboard to Amersham will be for sale at the event, alternatively buy a combined talk plus book ticket and get the book for £7.50, normal price £8.50.
