Place Of Interest- Bucklebury.
« on: Sunday 27 February 05 13:23 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I have a BIG interest in River Barn, Bucklebury as anyone heard of this place my Father use to live there when he was a youngman in the early 1900's, I think his family all lived around this area with the Surname BAILEY.

Tinkerbell,

There are two rivers in the Bucklebury area.   To the north is the River Pang (pretty close) and to the South East is the River Bourne (2 -3 km).   Both are not very large in this part of the country.   The River Pang has several feeder streams around Buckelbury that are not named on modern Ordnance Survey maps.   The Pang and Bourne come together to the East of Bucklebury (near Tidmarsh) as the Pang and then flow to meet the River Thames at Pangbourne.  It is worth noting that this whole area has changed drastically in the last 20 - 30 years as far as rivers are concerned (the Pang has effecively dried up on several occasions).

Hi Rita

If you look at this page (I googled "River Barn" Bucklebury)

http://www.nerc-wallingford.ac.uk/research/locar/geophys/fieldareas.htm#P7

there are three pictures of the river near the barn - non of the barn unfortunatly - but it does give the OS co-ordinates for the barn - and looking on my map it would place it about 1 mile to the NE of Bucklebury on the river Pang

Thanks Harry & Debbie, River Barn is very sentimental to me, my Adopted parents address at the time of there marriage were both at River Barn Bucklebury, do you know if it is a little village. I have saved the photo to put in my tree programme.
I am now going to check map out, thank you both.
Kind Regards,
Rita xx
