An annual heritage day has attracted almost 10,000 visitors to Amersham.
The Amersham Heritage Day was hailed as a smash hit after more than 8,000 visitors descended to Old Amersham on Sunday September 10.
Visitors of all ages came to enjoy the packed programme with entertainment, activities, music and heritage,including vintage buses running from Chesham to Old Amersham, a train bringing visitors from London and classic cars on display.
Amersham Town Council clerk Steven Catanach commented the day: “On behalf of the Town Council, I would like to thank the residents, visitors, community groups and businesses that supported Heritage Day.
