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.

This file starts at Woodgrange Park, passes through Purfleet and then goes into Tilbury station (later called Tilbury Riverside) and out again via the triangle.  It ends up at Pitsea Junction.
