Monks Risborough: Aylesbury Road
The main Aylesbury Road used to run in front of these houses but was moved away to the right in a road widening scheme, leaving a narrow slice of green, visible on the right. The white building is the former Nag's Head public house. All these buildings date from the 18th and 19th centuries and are within the Monks Risborough Conservation Area.
