SECR Photo V Feedback 1:
Could be Hastings station, which was rebuilt in
1931. The train on the right is composed of SECR 6-wheel
carriages, many of which in the 1930s had their bodies placed on 62 foot bogie underframes for use as suburban electric
stock.
SECR Photo V Feedback 2:
Location is Caterham with a nice rake of SER 6-wheeled carriages.
SECR Photo V Feedback 3:
From the layout of the railway and surrounding buildings this cannot be
Caterham. The railway layout and the buildings on the right are
consistent with Hastings, the buildings being the gas works.
SECR Photo V Feedback 4:

also appears in the respective Middleton Press book of the Caterham and
Tattenham Corner branches.

SECR Photo Y.

SECR Photo Y Feedback 1:
Location is Walmer. Wording on the shed roof on the left is
"Thompson & Son Ltd". The carriages appear to all be
of GWR origin. The train is heading towards Dover, so is assumed
to be on its way to Ashford, Tonbridge, Redhill and Reading (where it
will join the GWR).
SECR Photo Y Feedback 2:
Location is definitely Walmer. Probably the Deal to Birkenhead
train.

A 4-4-0 at an unidentified station..
SECR Photo Z Feedback:
This is an SER Class F locomotive on a down train at Grove Park in the mid
1890's.The wagons visible are SER opens built in large quantities from
1863 onwards. The bridge in the background is Baring Road. The
line was quadrupled in the early 1900's with the new tracks on the left.
The footbridge was replaced by a covered specimen and a new signal box
and signals were provided.
