Bourne End
Bourne End is a village mainly in the parish of Wooburn, yet partly in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is about five miles (8 kilometres) south-east of High Wycombe and also three miles (5 kilometres) east of Marlow, near the border with Berkshire and also near where the River Wye empties into the Thames. Bourne End exists in between the M4 as well as M40 motorways, and also preserves its railway station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail and road accessibility to London, it has ended up being a prominent place for travelers to live. Every one of the mills along the Wye Valley have actually currently been closed 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 These have actually been replaced by homes, workplaces or industrial estates, which has resulted in the extension of the town as an employment centre. Bourne End stays an unique settlement, although the proceeded house-building over the past century suggests it is intimidated by the apparent ribbon advancement, through to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Regional Plan was in preparation, the Homeowners Organizations of Bourne End and Wooburn successfully lobbied to stop Slate Meadow (the field which divides both settlements) being assigned for housing for the time being. Other primitive land around the town looks likely to stay so, as it has actually been specified as Green Belt, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or a combination of the three. In parts, Bourne End is surrounded by farmland. Rather better away, Cliveden and Hedsor neglect the village from greater ground to the south eastern. Bourne End sustains several companies as well as services whilst still maintaining a village-like ambience. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the village, with a huge hall, function areas and a bar, which is open for member's use. It is, for many, thought about the prime focus of town activity. In the very early 2000s, a Twinning Association was established, and subsequently Octeville-sur-Mer, a town on the north coast of France, was chosen to be its twin community. Regular events are held by participants of the association to promote and improve the partnership in between the two negotiations.
