A Historic England Level 4 Standing Building Survey was conducted in May on the 19th century Footbridge at Taplow Station. The current station was opened on 1 September 1872 and was probably designed by GWR architect J. E. Danks. The footbridge was constructed in 1884, during the expansion of the station to accommodate the doubling of the tracks, as suggested by the GWR emblem and date inscribed in the panels of four spandrels of the footbridge, and has been subjected to many alterations since. It is a single construction, c39 meters in length configured in 3 spans including staircases at either end to connect all four platforms of the station. It is one of several footbridges built by the GWR in the late 19th century using iron lattice work along the walkways; decorative spandrels and roofs with valancing and wooden staircases. A rare higher level signal box was fixed onto the footbridge on the central section.
