![Dist:0.5km<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")
