includes the station awning, the water crane and even what appears to be
a ground signal.
SECR Photo F Feedback:
Location probably St Pauls
(Holborn Viaduct), Ludgate Hill or London Bridge. A 'Sondes' clsss
2-4-0T built by R. & W Hawthorn originally to a Crampton / Cubitt
4-4-0T design for the opening of the London Chatham & Dover Railway
(formerly East Kent Railway). These appeared in October 1857 onwards. In
1865 Martley rebuilt them as 2-4-0T and Kirtley fitted new boilers and
condensing gear in 1876. All six lasted until 1909.

This is London Chatham & Dover Railway class A1 0-4-4T number 173 ,
later to be renumbered 632 by the SE&CR. Station may be Beckenham
Junction or somewhere on the Crystal Palace High Level branch.

SECR Photo I.
A 4-4-0 hauling what appears to be an SER line express. A round
ended wagon in the adjacent siding is lettered "SER" and the
signalbox behind the train has SER characteristics. The first
vehicle in the passenger train is a guards van with a birdcage lookout
above the roof. It is an early version of vehicles that were still
in use in France in the 1950s.
SECR Photo I Feedback:
None.
SECR Photo J.
A signalbox at an unknown location. There appears to be a bell
above the entrance to the signalbox, presumed to have been used to
announce the imminent arrival of trains to passengers waiting on the
platform. .
SECR Photo J Feedback:
This is Sydenham Hill signal cabin. It was replaced by one on the
other side of the line during the improvements made between 1909 and
1912. The photograph was taken looking towards London.
