This week we have unearthed pictures of Princes Risborough in the 1900s.

This first photo, from 1905, shows a view of a group of children outside the Market House, and both sides of the High Street, Market Place.

Market House underwent a revamp in 2017, which restored it to its pre-war glory, and it was returned to community use.

This is a view of mainly the north eastern side of Duke Street, circa 1895. The street looks completely different today, not least because of the lack of cars!
