Bourne End photo 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.

Bourne End snow - thumbnailOvernight on Thursday a huge amount of snow fell on Bourne End and Wooburn Green. In spite of gritting some roads were closed and traffic ground to a halt. The hills leading into the villages proved hazardous and kept many people at home.

 

 

 

 

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.
