  • No.142, Winter 2006/2007
    THE HIGH WYCOMBE SOCIETY MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS newsletter CHRISTMAS NUMBER 142 WINTER 2006/2007 Knowing Our Roots “DO WE want High Wycombe to be known for its shopping or do we want to be proud of our rich heritage?” That is the question posed by member Rub Suleman on page 11 of this issue. The answer, surely, is “both”. If our traders are to be prosperous and there are to be plenty of varied jobs for our young people, Eden must transform the High Wycombe shopping “experience” to keep and attract shoppers. However, knowledge of our heritage also has its part to play in raising our civic awareness. And, as Mr Suleman points out, young people, such as the growing numbers of students at our University College, are not born with this knowledge – they have to be told about it and it has to be pointed out to them. There are many aspects to this. Preserving our High Street and the wonderful variety of buildings in it is one. Treasuring our museum, with a constant series of fascinating exhibitions so enthusiastically managed by its dedicated staff is another. Striving to ensure the quality of new buildings in the town centre, whether it is the drama of Eden or simply new flats that do not clash with their immediate neighbours is also important. And how about questioning the need for the ever-growing plethora of traffic lights? Above all, our history must be cherished and even advertised. It is good to see that our mediaeval ruin, the St John’s Hospice, has at last been cleared of undergrowth.
