Bourne End
Bourne End is a town mainly in the parish of Wooburn, yet partly in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is about 5 miles (8 km) south-east of High Wycombe and also three miles (5 kilometres) eastern of Marlow, near the border with Berkshire as well as near where the River Wye empties right into the Thames. Bourne End exists between the M4 as well as M40 motorways, as well as maintains its railway station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail and also roadway availability to London, it has actually become a preferred area for commuters to live. Every one of the mills along the Wye Valley have actually currently been shut down and destroyed, Jacksons Mill in Furlong Road being the last (in Bourne End) in the late 1980s. These have been changed by homes, offices or industrial estates, which has caused the continuation of the village as a work centre. Bourne End continues to be a distinctive negotiation, although the continued house-building over the past century means it is intimidated by the apparent bow growth, via to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Regional Plan was in prep work, the Locals Associations of Bourne End as well as Wooburn successfully lobbied to stop Slate Field (the area which divides both negotiations) being designated for housing for the time being. Various other undeveloped land around the town looks most likely to stay so, as it has been specified as Green Belt, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or a mix of the three. In parts, Bourne End is surrounded by farmland. Rather even more away, Cliveden and Hedsor neglect the village from greater ground to the south east. Bourne End sustains numerous services as well as solutions whilst still keeping a village-like atmosphere. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the village, with a large hall, function areas and a bar, which is open for member's use. It is, for several, taken into consideration the centerpiece of town activity. In the early 2000s, a Twinning Association was developed, as well as subsequently Octeville-sur-Mer, a community on the north shore of France, was picked to be its twin town. Regular events are held by members of the association to cultivate and enhance the connection in between both settlements.
