Still mulling over the photo of Bourne End you sent me.
I can just about make out Bourne End Lane on the photo but I know the house belonging to my relatives was demolished in the mid '60s and the sawmill where my uncle worked appears to have been re-purposed. They moved east to Boxmoor before this happened but as a point of 'interest' about half a mile east of Bourne End is the burial site of 'the last highwayman' to be executed, J B Snook, hanged roughly midway between Bourne End and Boxmoor on 11 May 1802; there is a memorial stone there although I understand he was 'dug up' and re-interred on 'the moor' (presumably Boxmoor where there is a graveyard)
