THIS is Lincoln Road, High Wycombe in the year Elvis Presley records Heartbreak Hotel, videotape is first demonstrated at a convention in Chicago and poet Ted Hughes marries Sylvia Plath.

This photo was taken in 1959. It shows a group of hikers, five men, five women and one schoolgirl, walking across the fields on the site that is now Cressex Industrial Estate.

Do you recognise any of your friends or family in the picture? Maybe you can spot an uncle, aunt or grandparent among the hikers? Do they remember the day and where they were headed?

Anyone with information should call Mike Dewey on 01494 755105 or 01628 525207.

Just an observation: Heartbreak Hotel was released in 1956 - so is the picture of that year or in 1959??
