Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Gerrards Cross has evolved from a hunting ground in the 1790s into a desirable retreat for the wealthy by the 1860s, earning the nickname 'the Brighton of Bucks.' The picturesque landscape features Latchmore Pond and elegant homes surrounding the Common, alongside St James's Church. The 1906 railway station further transformed the area, enabling Londoners to embrace life in 'Beechy Bucks,' highlighting the town's appeal as a charming escape from the city.
