Opened 1862, closed to passengers in 1952, and completely in 1967. See http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/r/rickmansworth_church_street/index.shtml for a history of the station and its line, together with photos of the station in use and after closure.

Much of the track bed now forms the 'Ebury Way' for walkers and cyclists.

Working canal butty. Used presumably to deliver timber to adjacent timber yard.

To me this looks more like a Thames 'dumb' barge than a narrow 'butty' boat, from the size and the equally rounded ends. Such barges were worked up the Grand Union canal from the London docks, especially the Surrey Commercial dock which was particularly noted for timber imports.
