  Great perspective on the already stated history. Two-stage is of course obvious. Thanks for taking the time to put these up. Neko.

  Note the freight staion, most cars do not loak like coal cars but more like standard closed cars.

  The railway lines at the bottom/right of the picture are part of the main line to southeast england from London. The freight yards may well have been shared other businesses, as most of battersea's coal came by river.
