With news this week that the historic Bulstrode mansion is being turned into a luxury hotel, we have unearthed pictures of well-known Gerrards Cross buildings.

This first photo is from June 1971 and shows the old Midland Bank, at the junction of Ethorpe Crescent and Packhorse Road.

It is now a Strutt & Parker estate agent.

The building and signage looks more modern today.
