• Stones Radio and TV store in Church St. I guess its all gone by now, but its where I met the girl of my dreams Jean Barney who worked in the almoners office at the Shire council in the mid 50's. Then I went to Australia and never saw her again. Sorry Jean if you should read this!
• That little hut behind the Bus Station.
• Guns & Ammo
• Octagon
• Hobgoblin....i can hear it calling me as we speak!!!!!!!!!!
• Jubilee Road mosque has a certain Eastern charm i spose.
• Well i think the council are actually making an effort to tart up the town centre, shame that this means they completely ingnore what state the rest of the town is in. A lot of the council estates in Wycombe are really old and were built in the 1920's and 1930's. This means that that they are litterally falling down as some of the residents just dont give a shit and they havent been done up since they were built. The same goes for the Victorian slums in Desborough etc.
• The All Aaints church has are satanic altar behind it, we have done caarvings and writting from LaVey on the wall.
• The Wycombe Swan
• The JC building in Saunderton.
• The mosque, the gurdwara and the central church are all nice buildings and represent the many different cultures of our town.
• McDonalds. (BUILD THE DRIVE THROUGH!!!)
• Adams Park (Home of WWFC)
• Any architect with any imagination was hounded out of town in the '60's.
• Well i cant think of one which isnt coverd in a thick layer of poo, so none of them (how can you have a favourite building?)

• The chair museum.
• The main church.
• The Guildhall. Its soooooo beautiful. Aaah!
• All Saints. Imposing and central to the town. As it should be. Top-notch bell-ringers too.
• The millenium chair arch - - sorry, was it the millenium scaffold arch with chairs on it? Poooooooo!
• The Pepperpot has always been a big favourite of mine.
• The Chair Museum of course
• BUS SATATION FOR ITS GAS CHAMBER APPEAL
• West Wycombe Church (on the hill with gold ball on top)
• Union Baptist Church on Easton Street, far too elegant for Wycombe
• Has to be the Swan Theatre - very new. But the car park empties very slowly.
• All Saints Parish Church - has the best pipe organ in the county, a three manual Willis.
• The Market Hall and the Cornmarket. They give the impression to any daytripper to the town centre that High Wycombe is a nice old market town - it had me fooled when I came for an interview at Wycombe Hospital 9 years ago!!
• The theatre.
• The NatWest bank (next to the Hobgoblin) has a great fire-escape system out-back so you can actually climb right up onto the roof and drink beer whilst looking down on the High Street below and confusing passers-by by whistling at them.
• Station as gets you out of Little Chalfont, on the underground and up to London.
• The nurses accomodation buildings
