![Dist:0.7km<br/>Photographed for the record, as it seems destined for demolition, this pub was previously called "The Nightingale" and before that "The Denham Express", when it was the home to Clive's [[669960]], which lived down the left hand side of the pub in this view.
Denham Green is an odd sort of place. It was open fields and continued to be so for some considerable time after Denham railway station was opened in 1906. A little residential development took place in the 1930s, but most of the buildings in the village are post-war, while the large and long railway embankment provides a physical boundary to the much older and historic village of Denham to the south.
This location is within a few minutes' walk of the railway station, so although Denham Green village does not boast another pub the site's attraction for residential development is obvious.](http://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/11/01/1110182_969932ff_120x120.jpg "TQ0487 : Denham Green: The Inn on the Green public house")
![Dist:0.8km<br/>The station was built in 1912 to provide a halt on the railway line between Gerrards Cross and Denham for golfers using the eponymous golf club. The residential area of Higher Denham grew up on the south side of the station as a result of its arrival.
The corrugated iron waiting shelter with its hipped pagoda roof (and the one on the other platform) date from the opening of the station and are rare survivors of a Great Western Railway type once common on country halts. Grade II Listed Building status was afforded to them in 1992 to prevent them being replaced by the bus shelter type structures being built elsewhere on the line.
The separate similar structure ticket office at road level was also included in the Grade II listing but was demolished in 2007 following earlier fire damage. The new ticket office was built in the style of the original but painted brown, and the platform waiting rooms have recently been repainted to match. David's [[89693]] shows the shelters as painted white in 2005.](http://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/83/36/1833625_05e5cf92_120x120.jpg "TQ0287 : Denham Golf Club railway station")
