RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted March 25, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2019 Some pictures of Ewer Street before colour, and a getaway car trying to shake the rozzers off by going through the arches at speed with his lights off.

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted March 25, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) That fourth photo is very clever, a green coach in a black and white photo! Some great shots Adrian, it really looks good, but that last photo is just so atmospheric, brilliant! Al.

RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted March 29, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2019 As the title suggests round the bend, some more pictures of the line as it rounds the bend and up the incline towards Ewer Street and the Grand Vittesse.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 29, 2019 You have captured the essential “closeness” of the area’s railways. Trust me, as one who walked much of the track in the area - yes, with trains running - you are very aware of being hemmed in. Atmosphere by the bucketload. 3 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather hidden from view by the incline from Met Junction to Blackfriars Junction, it became Southwark Depot, a rather obscure EMU berthing point, but in steam days was a sort of Continental Depot, so perhaps the delivery point for some exotic fruits for Messrs Hartley? Hi Ian, thank you for the idea, and I am pleased that you think that I have captured some of the atmosphere of the area.

Porkscratching Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Great stuff! The Metal Box Co building reminds me of that section ( after Lond Bridge) where the train usually slowed or stopped for a bit on the Dartford to W/loo, Charing X routes..I often went thru that way in the late 70s early 80s...there was a nice Wilcox's Engineering building nearby ( with small loading cranes attached to the building as I recall !) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post westerhamstation Posted April 7, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 7, 2019 The bridge that connects the depot to the outside world has at last been made, it winds up from street level underneath the high level track through a archway then over the bridge into the depot. Constuction is from grey board and the road surface on the bridge is plasticard. The road at ground level is made from mount board with the top layer peeled off, but leaving the pavement surface intact. Some pictures of the work done so far. I will glad when I have finished this bit as you meet some right dodgy people down here at night. All the best Adrian. 19 1 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
