Geocache Description:

 

 

After seeing many other Alphabetical series, we decided to do our own for our corner of the county of Buckinghamshire.
The caches all vary, some are bigger than others, but none are micros and all have room for swaps.
 
This cache replaces our old 'B' as it kept filling with mud and water.  Please make sure you replace this 'right side up' so it stays nice and dry.  You are looking for a small screw top container.

Broughton is a hamlet to the east of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, England and together with Bierton and other neighbouring hamlets forms part of the civil parish of Bierton with Broughton. Broughton is also the name of a nearby housing estate in Aylesbury itself.
Broughton was first recorded as being part of the manor of Bierton in the late 13th century. The hamlet name is Anglo-Saxon and means farm by a brook. The brook in this case is the Bearbrook that rises near Bedgrove, flows through Broughton then back into Aylesbury before joining the River Thame near Quarrendon.
In the 1840s, a new branch railway was constructed linking Aylesbury to the Midlands that crossed the road that linked Broughton with Bierton. A public house and signalmen's cottages were constructed at the level crossing and the area became known as Broughton Crossing. Today, this is considered a separate hamlet from Broughton itself.
In the 1960s British housing boom, land that belonged to the parish of Bierton was sold to developers who constructed the housing estate of Broughton. Many local people immediately think of the estate when they hear the word 'Broughton,' as it is a very popular estate on which to live. All that separates Broughton hamlet from Broughton estate today is the brook from which the hamlet first took its name.
In the 2001 census, the population of Broughton housing estate was 5,802 people.
