The Odeon, Gerrards Cross
A small cinema survivor. Advertising four films, a look at the scheduling suggests two films are shown at once, so the old auditorium must have been split in two.

The northern portal of Gerrards Cross railway tunnel
The 320m long tunnel was constructed to enable to be built over the railway line the Tesco supermarket, which can be seen at the top of the photo. During construction of the tunnel, a 30m long section collapsed on 30 June 2005. No-one was injured in the accident, although a train heading towards the tunnel when it collapsed had to perform an emergency stop. Despite the incident, the construction continued in 2007 with different contractors building the tunnel. The store opened in November 2010, fourteen years after the project was commissioned.

With what looks like a closed bank on the corner.
"The town name is new compared with the great bulk of English towns. Gerrards Cross did not exist in any formal sense until 1859 when it was formed by taking pieces out of the three parishes of Chalfont St Peter, Fulmer, Stoke Poges and Upton cum Chalvey to form a new ecclesiastical parish. It is named after the Gerrard family who in the early 17th century owned a manor here." Wikipedia.
