[allisont]

They don't have a website that I know of. As far as I know they are a few local people who research the local area and publish books.
Upcoming events at Burnham Library has this http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/bcc/events/detail.jsp?section=library&contentid=-1748346563

Hi Abiam and Allisont,
It was a guy called Mervyn Eden who gave me info on Grenville Arms. I think he's involved with the Burnham Historians and also with the church in Burnham. Phian

Hi Phiam,

Thanks for that will email him.

A word of caution the Moderators on this forum do not like email addresses put on the boards because of spam.  If you go to your post and click on modify you can delete the address and perhaps suggest that if anyone is interested they can send you a private message.   And then you can correspond without email addresses showing up.  If you want to send a PM go to the little face icon on say allisont's post  and you can send a PM with the address.  If you don't remove it the Moderators will if they spot it.

Hope that is helpful,

Abiam

Alisont,
I was just advising Phian about not putting on an email address.  If you look at the bottom of his post you will see he has modified it.  If you want the address of Mervyn Eden send me a PM,
Regards,

I was interested in the chat some time ago about The Alma and Grenville Arms in Burnham, Bucks. I found out last week that my gt gt grandfather Richard Taylor was shown in the 1881 census as Beerhouse Keeper of the Alma Beerhouse, North End, Burnham, Bucks. Not sure for how long, as he wasn't there in 1871 and died in 1882 aged 70. Does anyone know if there are any old photos of the place or whats there now?

The Bucks CC website has lots of old photos of all parts of the county, although their pics of Burnham are dominated by Burnham Beeches.

I don't recollect any showing old pubs that are no longer there. ( I live only a few hundred yards from the telephone exchange)

I was looking at a Burnham Historians book of old photos of Burnham.

One photo caption, of a parade in 1912, refers to the Alma while anotehr indicates North End to have been the bottom of what it now Dropmore Road. It also refers to some cottages in North End being demolished for the building of Alma Court, This is immediately opposite the Telephone Exchange

This suggests the Alma would have been just behind the Crispin (now the Bee)
