 This road (official stone track) was created in 1823 in the [[Enclosures]] of Princes Risborough.   At that time it was called Windmill Road.   It replaced another road (track) which lay parallel, but higher on the ridge of the escarpment that passed nearer to [[The Windmill]].   This road stands on a high position, from which an uninterrupted view towards Oxford, 40 miles can be seen
-There were no houses on this road in 1823.   [[Windmill Farm]] stood just off the road, but did not open on to it.   There were four cottages at [[Parslows Hillock]], but they lay just off the road, facing [[Lily Bottom Lane]].   The public house known as the Pink and Lily, see [[Public House. The Pink & Lily]] after which the road was later named, had not yet been built.   [[Widmer Farm]] was the first property to be built on the road, part way along.

-By 1939 there were eight properties on Pink Road.   They were all on the south side, facing the road and looking towards the wonderful view.   Also the Whip public house had been built at the corner at the west end on the junction of Pink Road and the Main Road, Lacey Green.   These were recorded in a register taken in preparation for WW2.   Britain had been in a deep recession for a decade by 1939.   These were nearly all detached houses, which makes their inception interesting.       [[File:Snowfall 01.jpg|thumb]]
