Nos. 99A-103 (Maltings Mews).   These houses are part of what was previously the yard for Keens the builders.  This might once have been the site of one of the town’s tanneries.

Nos. 105-107   This pair of houses (the two doors to the left of the photo above) are Listed Grade II with late 18th century brick front added to an earlier timber-framed building. They share an old tiled roof with two box dormers and a wooden moulded cornice.

  • 1881 Mary Coleman 59, Dividends
  • 1891 Mary Coleman 69, own means with a boarding companion Caroline Gathard 27

“Visited Amersham museum yesterday – lovely place, provides many details on the history of the place. Plenty of cute cafes, pubs and shops around also… not difficult to find free parking nearby. ”

“A well-run, informative and interesting small museum on the main street. It’s mostly volunteer-run and they do a great job in keeping it and making you feel welcome…Check out the herb garden too.”

“Enjoyable film and television location guided walk around Amersham hosted by Amersham Museum – here are the Sun Houses on Highover Park and further up the hill is High & Over.”
