Heritage Open Day in Chesham is on Sunday 13th September. Whilst lots of historic buildings are open, we also have guided walks!

Mills and Blooms is a walk in Waterside led by the River Chess Association and will cover the industrial history of the area, powered by the river, as well as the beautiful nature that's present today. Meet at the Moor Road car park at 4pm.

You can also visit the cemetery and have a guided walk on the Industrial Titans of Chesham - some of the families who as entrepreneurs, innovators and grafters made Chesham a Victorian industrial powerhouse. Walks start at 11am and 2pm.

To find out more about these and the other events organised by the town council with Chesham Society visit www.heritageopendays.org.uk and search for Chesham.

This shop in Germain Street has recently changed hands, and with changing times has diversified its offerings.

People may remember when it was Dolling's sweet shop many years ago. A favourite place to visit before Saturday morning cinema.
