Chesham Railway Station is just off the picture to the bottom.
A terminus station, the single line runs to the bottom for 5955 metres to Chalfont Road (Chalfont and Latimer, later Chalfont) where it meets the London-Aylesbury line.
The first official service on the line left Chesham for London's Baker Street at 6.55 am on 8 July 1889.
Railway traffic included the export of watercress and import of coal.
Originally Metropolitan Railway the line passed to London Transport in 1933.
By 2000 the station was the most Northern and the most Western on London Underground. It then passed to Transport for London. '
