Princes Risborough, nestled in the heart of Buckinghamshire's Chiltern Hills, offers breathtaking views of the countryside. In July 1926, the tranquil scene of Chinnor Hill and Whiteleaf Hill Nature Reserve inspired local artists for the WI banner design. Fast forward to 1937, and the Forest Products Research Laboratory in Princes Risborough led advancements in forestry and woodworking industries. Step back in time to May Day 1952, when the streets came alive with traditional dancing and community spirit. The town's Church Street, marked by Wycombe HP27 9 and HP27 0 on the map, has been a hub of local life since then. In the 1940s, the town's industrial side came to the forefront with the Forest Products Research Laboratory's innovative 'saw dentist' treatment. Today, Princes Risborough continues to blend its rich history with modern life, offering visitors a unique blend of rural charm and urban convenience.
