I have been sent some photos of wagons being loaded, which must have been pre-war just as the tractor was a Scammell 3-ton Mechanical Horse in LMS livery, though I suppose it could just be post-war! Anyhow, the sender thought that they were taken in 'Hammersmith Goods Yard'. I wonder if this was Hammersmith & Chiswick or Chiswick & Hammersmith, which was served by a branch off the NLL and was located on the north side of the Picc/DR viaduct between Chiswick Park and Turnham Green? Was that a LMS goods facility?
One of the wagons was owned by a Battersea company, and I wondered if the location was the Battersea goods yard on the south bank of the Thames but that was a SR facility.

According to the RCH diagram the nearest goods station was Uxbridge Road. This was LNWR/GWR joint.

Then that would have become a LMS/GWR joint after Grouping. Thanks.

Why is Uxbridge Road more likely? The origibnal suggestion, Hammersmith (& Chiswick), was an LMS station, (originally NLR/LNWR/Midland joint) and was still open until the 1960s. Without seeing the pictures it is difficult to go further.
