WANTED West London Line pictures

[roythebus]

I must be totally mad, but am thinking of modelling the WLL between the A4 bridge and Kensington High Street Bridge, the section running parallel to Warwick Road, early to mid 1960's. I reckon the backdrop of the Fulham Depository would be a challenge in the bleak urban landscape of West London.

I've got the Middleton Press book on the WLL, but want to find out if any members have any pics or diagrams of this area they could lend me. A google search hasn't shown up very much as this area doesn't seem to have been popular with photographers for some reason!!

Check out the "Britain from above" web site, and enter 'Earls Court' in the search box, pictures show aerial photos all around the area.

Thanks, I've found that by searching "Lillie Bridge" this brings up far more pix of the area for some reason!

thanks, I've just downloaded a map of the area from Old Maps and the layout will be 44' long in 00 gauge! Including Lillie Bridge will mean doubling that!!
