Cultural Use
Beaconsfield railway station is in a number of episodes of the Midsomer Murders television crime drama series, in which it portrays "Causton railway station" in the county town of Midsomer, the fictional county in which the series is set. For these appearances, temporary "Causton" station nameboards are erected but other fixtures and fittings are unaltered, and in some cases, local Beaconsfield advertisements may be seen in the background.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“The men who are messing up their lives, their families, and their world in their quest to feel man enough are not exercising true masculinity, but a grotesque exaggeration of what they think a man is. When we see men overdoing their masculinity, we can assume that they haven’t been raised by men, that they have taken cultural stereotypes literally, and that they are scared they aren’t being manly enough.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.”
—For the State of Illinois, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
