| For comparison with the July 1957 view, I generated this contemporary image using the Globe View tool in Google Maps, the angle being as similar as possible. Notably the large buildings in the background (pub centre left and flats centre right) are visible in both views. The canopies of the platforms at West Kensington station are much more apparent in the modern view, while the drastic changes to Lillie Bridge depot are apparent. Aside from the construction of the Ashfield House office tower block, all railway tracks at this end of the depot are long gone. Just left of centre is the low-level parking area, built on the alignment of the tracks to the goods depot, and now accessed by a ramp somewhere off the bottom of the view. More service vehicles are parked in the area previously occupied by sidings, while the small garage buildings are again long gone. This does mean that the old access road bridge crossing the District Line is fully visible. |
