My task for the day took me once more into that wonderful Bodleian Library where, in addition to doing my main task, I took the opportunity to review an ancient Railway Magazine, this time volume 12 from 1903. In it are a couple of articles regarding the Central London Railway and the sweet symmetry they share in this volume as – when they were penned over one hundred years ago – no-one knew that one day, some 45 years later, they would share a common heritage.
First there is an interview with a wonderfully Edwardian gentleman, Mr Granville C. Cuningham – chairman of the Central London Railway which was aiming to become the Inner-Inner Circle! (see page 178).
This is followed by an article on the opening of the Woodford & Ilford Railway.
Enjoy please.
