NEW OCTOBER 2017. The signalling diagrams here have been hand-drawn by our late member John Bennett. He worked from maps accompanying Board of Trade Reports produced after inspections which followed changes in the layout. These he consulted at the National Archives at Kew. Where such maps did not exist he used evidence from large-scale O.S. maps and from photographs.

He was very happy to make them available to all who may be interested, and we are grateful for that.

The entire route from London to Southend, and beyond to Shoeburyness, is covered in two files.  This is the second of those: it goes from Dagenham to Shoeburyness.  The first part is file SG061.  

Here there are twenty-two pages of diagrams. The locations featured and the dates represented are:-

Dagenham (1907); River Rom Intermediate Block Signals (1912); Hornchurch (1912); Upminster Station (1913); Upminster East Junction (n.d.); Cranham Sidings (1907); East Hordon (n.d.); Dunton Signal Box (1905); Laindon (1920 O.S. map); Basildon Signal Box (1915 O.S. map); Pitsea Junction (1912); Bowers Gifford Intermediate Block Signals (1911); Benfleet (1911); Hadleigh Signal Box (1901); Leigh-on-Sea (1912); between Leigh and Westcliff (1912); Westcliff-on-Sea (1895 and 1910); Southend-on-Sea (1899); Southend East Signal Box (1907); Thorpe Bay (1910); Shoeburyness (1884 and 1910); and Shoeburyness (1955 visit).
