California, Buckinghamshire history
Until the arrival of the Wycombe Railway in 1863, California was the name of a farm and related buildings that stood in the area. Cottages were constructed in the location of the farm to house railway workers and the area became known as the Hamlet of California.
Hazell, Watson and Viney
In 1867, printing and publishing firm Hazell, Watson and Viney opened an inkworks in a disused silk mill in the hamlet . In 1878, this was moved to purpose built premises on the Tring Road (current site of Tesco), which closed in 1952 .
20th century
By the early 1920s Aylesbury had grown such that it was necessary to start building houses on the site of Southcourt . Eventually the farmlands themselves were built on, though the railway cottages that formed the hamlet remain .
21st century
The site was home to the “California Industrial Estate” until 2005 when it was demolished to make way for a new housing estate . It was renamed the “Grand Central” due to its proximity to the centre of Aylesbury .
California, Buckinghamshire etymology
The hamlet is probably named after the U.S. state of California, though its history goes back long before the state was known to British people. It is widely believed that the hamlet was named after visiting American servicemen during the Second World War.
