This is how Amersham has changed through Google over the years.

Eagle-eyed residents of Amersham may have spotted cars with cameras on their roof taking pictures of the town for Google Street View at regular intervals.

The earliest Google Street View in Amersham goes back to 2009, and the most recent street images were taken during 2021.

This is how some Amersham landmarks and buildings have changed over the years on Google Street View.

Amersham Museum

Amersham Museum opened in 1991, and it has since become a much-loved local institution. 

Drag the image below to see how the front of Amersham Museum has changed between 2010 and 2021. 

Visitors can learn all about life in Amersham and the surrounding areas through the collection of local historical treasures housed in the Grade II listed, 15th century half-timbered house on High Steet in Old Amersham.

Su Chases Interiors building

The historic building, which was once the home of the interior designer Su and her family, now houses furniture, lighting, home furnishings, accessories and gifts across three stories.

In 2010 the building was painted in pale pink, which in 2021 had changed to light blue.

Memorial Gardens

The Memorial Gardens and The Peace Garden in Old Amersham is said to be the centrepiece of the award-winning Amersham in Bloom and the efforts of its army of volunteers.

Drag on the image below to see how the Memorial Gardens were transformed between 2010 and 2021.

As well as commemorating those who lost their lives in both World Wars, the Gardens host concerts and events in the summer.

Metropolitan train

The replica of an old Metropolitan Railway steam train first appeared in September 2021.

A two-year project by Amersham Town Council and the 1st Chesham Bois Scouts culminated when the replica train was installed on train tracks on the grass verge – a nod to the historical railway line.
