  • Crossrail sidings, KeithRay wrote 14 years ago:
    This entry makes no sense at all. It certainly has nothing to do with Crossrail.

    Relate and CAB finally moved to new premises in 2008. (I wrote it wrongly in my text, it should not be 1998, should be 2008)
  • Office Block Apporved , Teresa wrote 16 years ago:
    To be approved is one thing, to be built is another. That site had been an eye sore for the town for so long now, I'll believe it when I see it.

  • Furze Platt Railway Station, Richard Beeching (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    In July 1846, The Wycombe Railway Company was incorporated by an Act of Parliament. The act authorised the construction of a single line from the original Great Western Railway (GWR) station at Maidenhead, to High Wycombe. Construction began in 1852, and the completed line to High Wycombe, was finally opened on 1 August 1854. The line left the GWR main line at the site of the present Maidenhead station, the first stop of which was Maidenhead (Wycombe Junction), renamed in the 1860s, Boyne Hill. This station was closed on 1 November 1871 upon the opening of the present Maidenhead station. The Wycombe Railway Company was taken over by GWR on 1 February 1867. In August 1867 the business men of Great Marlow met to discuss linking Marlow with the GWR Wycombe Branch line, at the then Marlow Road station (now Bourne End). This line opened on 23 June 1873, with no. 522, 0-4-2 saddle tank locomotive (built at Wolverhampton in 1868), it was affectionately known as the Marlow Donkey. No. 522 was rebuilt at Swindon Works in 1884 and remained in service until 1935[citation needed]. The GWR acquired the capital and operated the line from 1897. Dr Beeching In the 1960s the branch began to decline. In July 1962 the steam locomotive was replaced with a Diesel multiple unit. The service was gradually cut back through to 1969, by which time Marlow station had been demolished and replaced by a smaller one further down the line. Loudwater and Wooburn Green lost their ticket offices, Loudwater had been reduced to a single track halt and Cookham lost its passing loop. On 2 May 1970 the stretch of track from Bourne End to High Wycombe was closed.

  • St Piran's School, Teresa wrote 18 years ago:
    St. Piran’s can trace its origins to 1805 when pupils, including Benjamin Disraeli, the future Prime Minister, received their early education at a small school in Blackheath, called Eliot Place. The school moved to its present site in 1872. In 1919, Major Vernon Seymour Bryant became Headmaster. He bought Cordwalles School for £7,700 and in 1920 renamed it St. Piran’s, after the patron Saint of Cornwall. It started as a boys’ school, with boarding facilities. 1972 the school became an educational trust with a Board of Governors and about 180 boys. Many additions were made to the building in the seventies including an outdoor swimming pool, assembly hall, a new gymnasium, a library and a science laboratory. In 1993, the school became fully coeducational, accepting boys and girls from age three to thirteen. Boarding came to an end at St. Piran's after 188 years and the school adapted to the demands of the local market, becoming a local school meeting local needs.
