| This line London-Wycombe was one of the last major lines to be built in Britain - it came into operation in 1906 and was essentially the seed from which modern Gerrards Cross sprang up. This particular cutting is one of the largest on the line, and was constructed largely by manual (and equine!) labour - the amount of labour invested was staggering. |

| Packhorse Road bridge, with railway station beyond. The space between this bridge and Marsham Lane is now filled in and tunneled, with a Tesco store on top. |
