Description
Buildings report held at NMR (B1)
Built in 1906 in standard GWR style except that it is unusual in being split-level, two-storeys high on the platform side and one storey on Station Approach (because of the slope of the railway cutting). Red brick with stone dressings, slate roof. Pevsner remarks on the handsome timber canopies. Remarkably unaltered when compared with historic photos. Local building of note for the Conservation Area of Gerrards Cross. (B2)
Set in a cutting almost 1.5 miles long. The railway was put in a tunnel to create land to build a Tesco store. The tunnel collapsed in summer 2005. Photos of station (B3).
