This was a copy of the original station building, although without a train-shed, and constructed in plain brick. Look out for the history of more of the local icons which feature on the High Wycombe Monopoly board in next week’s Bucks Free Press.

This building still stands today and as Brunel was engineer to the original Wycombe Railway (Maidenhead to Wycombe), this is known as the Brunel Building. After a money themed dazzling dance show by performers from Jackie Palmer Stage School, Mr Monopoly congratulated the representatives from Adams Park, One Can Trust foodbank, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, Wycombe Homeless Connection, South Bucks Hospice and JNP estate agents – all included on the board. The One Can Trust Operations Manager Jo Belshaw said: "We are delighted to have been chosen to appear in this special edition MONOPOLY game.
