Hill Avenue, Amersham
Amersham on the Hill is quite different from Amersham Old Town, with its coaching and market origins, about 1km away in the Misbourne valley.
This is "Metroland", the extension of London suburban style development out into Bucks and Herts following the Metropolitan Railway which reached Amersham in 1892.

BT removal notice inside KX100 telephone box in Hill Avenue, Amersham
This notice dated the 15th August 2023 has been posted inside the telephone box in Hill Avenue. It has the following wording:
It's time to remove this payphone
Why? We've found that not enough people use it to justify keeping it.
So we've stopped the service ahead of taking the payphone away completely. But in the
meantime, you can still call 999 and 112.
If you'd like to know more about this, please contact us quoting the reference 'SR'.
