Andy Y Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Just to add to Peter's post on Lymington Town there's a fine display of images from earlier days inside the station which includes the following which relate to Lymington Town plus much more for Lymington Pier. Apologies for the reflections off the glass. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Can't speak for Peter but those shots would have been from a Canon G10, handheld. They're just record shots that were filed for 'may come in handy one day' so they literally were fire and forget (where I'd stored them). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Y's and Western Sunset's images look particularly sharp and vibrant. Hello Larry. I'm not really into the technical side of photography so just use a "point and shoot" digital. Pre 2010 shots are with a Fuji Finepix A405 and later ones with a Canon Powershot A480. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieB Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 AUDLEY END Colour images from December 2010, black & whites from October 1976. Another Sancton Wood design (but this time in collaboration with Francis Thompson), the station was originally named "Wenden" after the village of Wenden's Ambo (an "ambo" is a pulpit), where the station is situated. It was later renamed to honour the nearby Audley End House, the stately home of Lord Braybooke (and where there is, of course, an extensive miniature railway open to the public). North of the station the line to Cambridge passes through the estate of Audley End House and the elaborate portals that mark Audley End tunnel. Local objections meant that the main line bypassed the important market town of Saffron Walden. In 1865 a branch line was opened from Audley End, eventually joining with the Cambridge - Colchester secondary cross-country line at Bartlow. The branch line succumbed early to the Beeching closures, and while most of the route remauins traceable, the Saffron Walden town council wasted no time in erecting a housing development to the South of the former station, thereby precluding any possibility of a re-opening. As a result, Audley End receives considerable commuter traffic from Saffron Walden and the area between and around the former branch line platform forms an extensive car park. A shuttle bus connects the station to the town. The main station building is a simple, yet attractive design. The porte-cochere was built to receive their lordships carriages. A new station canopy, footbridge and set of lifts have been added recently, together with a modern waiting room on the Up platform (looking slightly inconguous to the rest of the station architecture). The existing footbridge has been retained. Waiting arrangements on the Down platform are less salubrious. Looking South, the main change has been the removal of the signal box. The loading bay platform is still visible. The branch line platform was separate from the main station and is still discernable, although the former trackbed has been filled in to enlarge the car park. The waiting room is still there, now used it seems for parking motor cycles. The building has lost the two tall chimneys at either end. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivercider Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Here is Polsloe Bridge, the first station on the former LSWR Exmouth Branch, pictured in April 2009. There is not much of it but it is another product of the nearby Exmouth Junction Concrete Works. The concrete platforms were re-constructed in 1928, the line here singled in 1973, the up platform remains in use. Looking down towards Exmouth Looking up towards Exmouth Junction, the signal box there can be seen in the distance. cheers Edited April 22, 2013 by Rivercider 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieB Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 HAMPTON COURT A branch terminus opened by the London and South Western Railway in 1849, the station was built in mock-Jacobean style in keeping with the historic location. The listed buildings are under currently threat due to a propsed re-development. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joint posted on RMweb a couple of years ago, most certianly worthy of a link. Search and ye shall find (actually just an external link in another topic) - but gets you there.
