Can't see the wood for the trees Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

xxxVCxxx: I thought this would be a good addition to the series, and could make the series into a loop. However, it keeps going missing, and was recently moved to a host I’m not always kern on hiding caches. After a quick check this morning, it was nowhere to be found. I wonder where the previous hiders had returned it? Anyway, I won’t be replacing it again and it’s time for this one to go.

Terriers Conservation Area - History

The name Terriers has an obscure origin. The earliest reference to the area names it as Tarriers in 1714. A possible theory for the use of this name suggests that the name of this area was a resting place after a long haul up Amersham Hill. The area was first designated a conservation area in 1986.
There are two listed buildings in the area, number 201, Amersham Road, and Terriers Lodge, Amersham Road, both of which have been converted from residential use to business use.
There are no known sites of special archaelogical interest or Sceduled Ancient Monuments within the conservation area. However in the event of archaelogical deposits being found the council may require archaelogical conditions sttaching to planning permissions where appropriate. including watching briefs, excavation or similar recording procedures.

There is evidence that pre-Roman man lived in and around High Wycombe and features of interest may yet be revealed.
