Prebend House comes back to life

This is Prebend House which has stood empty for years - nice to see it restored.

Lost boot

..hope it finds its way back home

Happy New 2011!

Best wishes to all our followers for continuing to visit Buckingham Daily Photo.

We hope that 2010 treated you kindly and that the new year will bring you joy and happiness.

I suppose, at some point the night before, a tipsy person thought "mmmmm Profiteroles!" and after a few then thought "urg. profiteroles" before abandoning them on a doorstep in town.

hope your celebrations were full of mmmm and not of urg!

Snowy Buckingham

The November and December of 2010 are the coldest and snowiest I can remember.
Motorists struggled in the snow, but most people decided to walk instead.

Damage to the front of a house on West Street today.

Shot quickly on my iPhone this afternoon about 4pm.  West street narrows through here and this lorry and a pickup truck were both traveling too fast. Neither gave way sadly and the lorry kerbed and then jumped onto the pavement taking out the front entry corner of this 17th Century brick house.  They were unable to remove the lorry for fear of the side of the house falling down.  

Luckily no injuries. It certainly could've been worse though I feel absolutely sick for the homeowner.

Buckingham charter fair

It's the time of year again when the charter fair comes to town - it's here for a Saturday evening - then the whole thing gets taken down and is built up again the next week.

Band Jam 2010

This year's band jam was a great event with lots of people enjoying the lack of rain.

You can see lots more pictures at this online gallery.
