Further Notes
OCD - Mon 22/03/1915 - Battersea Pier Jct. - Stewarts Lane Jct. - CPLGB p33.
OCD for the SECR lines between Stewarts Lane Jct. - Longhedge Jct. unknown. No closure date identified, but, given the Stewarts Lane Jct. - Factory Jct. closed from 01/01/1867, it must be presumed this line closed at the same time as the line from Battersea Pier Jct., unless services in the interim used the LBSCR lines which ran parallel between Stewarts Lane Jct. and Longhedge Jct.
It may well be that, as the SECR and LBSCR lines ran parallel on what was in reality a shared formation, this might explain the omission of this section of line in any closure records. That said, as the OS map clearly shows, the same goes for most of the line to Battersea Pier Jct., save for the northernmost section that, interestingly, divides either side of the 1867 high level lines to Factory Jct., not shown on the RCH map.
Any information most welcome.
