Wood Siding, a closed Tube station
Metropolitan
Where the name comes from
The station was a halt in Bernwood Forest, where the tramway was extended in 1871 to a siding in a surviving fragment of the forest. Bernwood was a royal hunting forest, probably set aside when Anglo-Saxon kings had a palace at Brill.
Worth knowing: Between 1908 and 1910 the station was rebuilt on a bridge over the new Great Western main line, which passed directly beneath it.
