Railway bridge over Haw Lane

This bridge carries the Chiltern Main Line across Haw Lane, north of Saunderton Station. It was built in the early 1900's to replace the old Wycombe Railway single line bridge. The bridge has had replacement concrete decks fitted in recent years, but the old abutments of the Wycombe railway bridge are still present in the foreground.

A very flinty field, often the case in high areas of chalk land where the elements have dissolved the chalk away.

Former Methodist Church, Radnage

Situated in Green End Road at the junction with Radnage Common Road, this church dates from 1865 and was one of several churches in the High Wycombe Methodist Circuit. Services were held here each Sunday at 3.00pm until the final service took place on Sunday 23rd March 2003. It was then converted into a private dwelling.
