Beresford Junction Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hi An interesting project. I went through Brookwood station today on the way up to Waterloo. I had seen a television program about it some while ago and always notice all the gravestones, which you can see from the train. There doesn't appear to be much evidence left of the line going into the cemetery. I look forwards to seeing updates. Cheers Phil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
