Today’s column follows on from the topic of the last two weeks, but I have to apologise for some very poor quality pictures and a faded and creased map of Marlow. However this Town Council map dated 1968 is the only one available that shows (dotted line on the right) the route of the proposed new bypass, and crossing over one of the former Marlow Brickworks quarries.

Almost all Marlow homes had a piped water supply, but the mains drainage scheme (a huge undertaking) was still a couple of years away. 7) The Railway Station with side tracks into the goods yard. 8) Lock Road, largely undeveloped apart from a few houses at the north end.
