Chesham
By admin | May 19, 2008
Chesham is a market town in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire, England. It is the fourth largest town in the county of Buckinghamshire, with a population of some 23,000 people (behind High Wycombe with 111,000 and Aylesbury with 63,000). It is situated in the picturesque Chess Valley and surrounded by farmland, as well as being bordered on one side by Amersham and Chesham Bois. Despite once having a thriving set of industries (including beer, brushes, boots and watercress) these have declined, with only the brush factory remaining and the town has become a largely commuter town.
