Burnend (first recorded 1236) "End of the Stream" is where the Wye flows into the Thames. Nestling in the Chilterns alongside the river, the village has been the home of papermakers, lacemakers and brickmakers. Today Bourne End is a thriving village close to London and even closer to the open countryside of the Chiltern Hills in central southern England.
This site is provided by Bourne End Community Association as a service to people who work and live in Bourne End. The Community Association is also responsible for provision and management of the Bourne End Community Centre.

With some schools closed children took the opportunity to enjoy the winter wonderland. As the day progressed many of the roads were cleared but the threat of further snowfalls meant that people had to make alternative plans for the busy weekend before Christmas.
Downhill into Bourne End and the sunshine will help the slush to melt
Waking up to a white world
Mid morning on Friday and up Blind Lane towards Flackwell Heath has the look of a ghost road
