History
The station was opened on 1 August 1854 along with five other intermediate stations on the Wycombe Railway's route between Maidenhead and Wycombe.[1][2][3][4][5] It was situated on Castle Hill close to the point where the line passes under the Bath Road (the present day A4).[6][7]
The station, at first named Maidenhead (Wycombe Branch), was later renamed Maidenhead (Boyne Hill).[1][3]
Maidenhead Boyne Hill closed on 1 November 1871, being replaced the same day by Maidenhead Junction, a new station which was built to serve the whole of Maidenhead.[1][3][7][8] The line remains open for passenger services between Maidenhead and Marlow. The bricked up arches which led to the platforms can still be seen in the southern parapet of the bridge, beneath the footpath.
