The arrival of the Great Western Railway in nearby Maidenhead in 1838 led to a significant reduction in commercial traffic on the Thames and the almost immediate collapse of the stagecoach route between Hatfield and Reading which passed through Great Marlow. This reduction in commercial traffic on the river eventually caused the collapse of the Thames Navigation and created a crisis in the management of the river which led to the setting up of the Thames Conservancy in the 1860s.

    March 2011 HIGH WYCOMBE CONSERVATION AREA The Railway and Victorian Expansion Area Study 5 This document forms part of a larger conservation appraisal for High Wycombe and should be read in conjunction with the master document which gives development control guidelines. 1 LOCATION AND LANDSCAPE SETTING Location This small sub-area to the north of the town centre is characterised by the steep hill that continues from Crendon Street (formerly Crendon Lane). This is classifi ed as an incised dip slope (Z10) in the Buckinghamshire Landscape Plan and is a typical Chiltern feature. The steep side to the chalk valley has been incised to create a plateau to accommodate the railway and the seven metre step up to Totteridge Road leads to the short length of Amersham Hill that is included in this conservation area. The Victorian villas that step up Amersham Hill once led to an area of wild heath that topped the hill prior to the expansion of the suburbs that extend towards Hazlemere. The conservation area boundary lies to the rear of properties to the west of the main road, and north of St Augustines Catholic Church. Amersham Hill Conservation Area, and Priory Road Conservation Area both adjoin this sub area, and form a continuation of the Victorian development of the town. General character, plan form and landscape context High Wycombe town centre lies at the bottom of the valley formed by the River Wye cut from the chalk hills of the Chilterns. It is the steep sided slope to the north that provides the setting for the railway station on a small plateau.
