	Amersham CC - Reports - Saturday 2nd XI - 2002
		An absorbing contest between Amersham II and OMT II at Shardeloes ended in disappointment for both teams, when a downpour ended the match with 18 overs to go.
		OMT elected to bat first on a damp track, but they were restricted to 162-7 from their 51 overs.
		For a while O'Reilly threatened to pull off an unlikely victory, but he departed for 73 when Davis was brought back, then Charlie Holloway's 3-13 nearly won the game for Amersham, but a sharp chance was grassed in the gulley in the final over, as OMT held out for a draw.

	Richmond and Twickenham Times
		The oldest parts of West Lodge on the Missenden Road at Old Amersham date back to the 18th century when the architect Stiff Leadbetter and later Robert Adam provided the mansion described by Edmund Burke as "the perfect specimen of elegant English residence" for one of the wealthiest commoners in England, William Drake.
		Just a short walk away is the famous Shardeloes lake in the grade II* listed grounds of the mansion laid out by the revered 18th century landscaper Hump-hrey Repton.
		He observed at the time "it is one of the most beautiful situations in England." Given there's now a station up the road with trains to London in 30 minutes, commuters would probably say it still is.

		The view below shows Shardeloes Road, and since it is quite level, it is probably correct that locks 11 and 12 began at Brockley for the canal south of Vesta Road was in a shallow cutting.
		After the canal closed, the route a country lane of sorts - as seen on old maps of the area - to serve the brickfields that were built on the site of the New Cross locks.

		It was only six weeks ago that I learnt of its existence, and the account given to me by the owner, now advanced in years and a sick man, struck a chord in my memory.
		About the year 1935, ten years after the dispersal of the Shardeloes books, I picked from a barrow on the Farringdon Road, London, a small handwritten book bound in early calf and having the remains of clasps to its covers.
		I shall not weary the reader as to my subsequent study of the contents, suffice to say that my half-crownsworth proved to have belonged originally to John Harrison the third, or fourth, of the family of Elizabethan publishers.
