Bourne End
Bourne End is a town mainly in the parish of Wooburn, however partially in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is about 5 miles (8 kilometres) south-east of High Wycombe as well as three miles (5 kilometres) eastern of Marlow, near the boundary with Berkshire as well as near to where the River Wye empties into the Thames. Bourne End lies between the M4 and M40 motorways, as well as maintains its train station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail as well as roadway availability to London, it has actually come to be a popular area for commuters to live. All of the mills along the Wye Valley have now been shut down as well as demolished, Jacksons Mill in Furlong Road being the last (in Bourne End) in the late 1980s. These have actually been replaced by residences, offices or industrial estates, which has resulted in the continuation of the town as a work centre. Bourne End continues to be an unique settlement, although the continued house-building over the past century implies it is threatened by the evident bow advancement, through to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Local Plan was in prep work, the Homeowners Associations of Bourne End as well as Wooburn efficiently lobbied to quit Slate Meadow (the field which separates both negotiations) being assigned for real estate for the time being. Other untaught land around the town looks most likely to continue to be so, as it has actually been defined 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 bordered by farmland. Rather further away, Cliveden as well as Hedsor neglect the town from greater ground to the south east. Bourne End maintains numerous businesses as well as solutions whilst still preserving a village-like ambience. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the village, with a huge hall, function spaces as well as a bar, which is open for member's usage. It is, for many, considered the centerpiece of village activity. In the very early 2000s, a Twinning Association was established, and ultimately Octeville-sur-Mer, a community on the north coast of France, was selected to be its twin community. Frequent occasions are held by members of the association to cultivate and also enhance the partnership between both settlements.
