High Wycombe scenes from the 1950s

This first picture looks at both sides of Queen Victoria Road, with the old library and the Town Hall on the western side.

The Town Hall still stands but the library has been converted into offices after it stood empty for years and fell into disrepair.

The library has moved to Eden Place, near the Eden Shopping Centre.

This second photo looks north from Paul’s Row at the junction with White Hart Street and High Street, with a view along Church Street.

The view looks very different today, with All Saints Church still visible in the background and the old Chemist building now a café.
