Buckingham: The Chewar & 1 West Street

The Chewar is a narrow passageway that runs from West Street here, between the Russell & Butler estate agency and Lloyds TSB Bank, round to Market Hill. It has a typical small Buckingham town street name plate just above the yellow burglar alarm. The name of The Chewar, or just Chewar as it is shown on the Ordnance Survey town map of 1881, probably gets its derivation from the same source as the word chare, commonly used in Newcastle-upon-Tyne as a name for a narrow lane, alley, or wynd.
