More about this scene
Little Chalfont, a name given the area by developers in the 1920s, grew up around Chalfont Road Station on the Metropolitan Line which opened in 1889, with a branch to Chesham opening the following year. The station was built amid farmland and spawned much development. This view of the somewhat architecturally amorphous centre has the station, renamed Chalfont and Latimer in 1915, out of view to the right. Swannells is still an estate agents, Bairstow Eves, and the neo-Georgian building on the left is the 1935 telephone exchange.
