SG061 LT&SR Signalling Diagrams: London to Southend Part 1
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 first: it goes from London to Heathway, just before Dagenham. The second is file SG062.
Here there are twenty-two pages of diagrams. The locations featured and the dates represented are:-
Fenchurch Street and Leman Street (n.d.); Christian Street Junction (1893); Shadwell and St George’s East (1916 O.S. map); Stepney Junction (photos and O.S. map); Salmonds Lane Junction (1900); Burdett Road (incomplete); Gas Factory Junction (1894 and 1902); Campbell Road Junction (1905); Bromley (1906); Upper Abbey Mills Junction (n.d.); West Ham (1912); Plaistow (pre-1912); Plaistow (post-1912); Upton Park (n.d.); East Ham No. 1 Signal Box (n.d.); East Ham No. 2 and Little Ilford No. 1 Signal Boxes (1911); Little Ilford No. 2 and No. 3 Signal Boxes (n.d.); Barking West (n.d.); Barking Sidings and Barking East Signal Boxes (n.d.); Upney (1903); Gale Street Halt, later Becontree (n.d.); and Heathway (n.d., post-1932).
