  These stunning views of Olney were taken
by a former resident of Lavendon village,
Robert Chambers, who now lives in the United
States. The story of his return journey to Lavendon
is shown on the Lavendon Aerial Views page
- click on the button to the left.       A view of Olney looking in a northerly direction
with the Wellingborough and Lavendon Roads
leading off near the top. The playing fields
are in the centre, with the line of the former
Northampton-Bedford railway crossing over
the River Great Ouse discernible centre right. A view, looking eastwards, of the sports
playing field, with the former railway crossing
over the River Great Ouse at centre left.
East Street and the High Street are at the

the former Hipwell Brewery site was taking
place at this time, evident on the right
