Place:
Church Square, High Wycombe (central), Bucks, Noyes Lane, looking west from the church yard path adjacent to South porch
Content Notes:
the back of the building on the extreme left was King’s Drapery Stores, now (2005) Costa Coffee Shop. The wood framed building is the Watch House. Left of the telegraph pole is the distinctive crooked chimney of the Black Boy PH. This corner of the church yard looks different today. Though the Tudor buildings were demolished before 1939 the Watch House remained in use until the 1950s by the Home Guard and the ARP
Date:
