South Western Railway Station, Nine Elms.
South Western Railway Station, Nine Elms. The station was opened in 1838 by the London and Southampton Railway but had closed by 1848 when the line was extended to Waterloo, although still occasionally used by Queen Victoria. It was bombed in 1941 and demolished in the '60s to make way for the Covent Garden flower market. The engraving was produced for Tallis' Illustrated London, Vol II, 1851, by William Gaspey, published by John Tallis: "Tallis's illustrated London : in commemoration of the Great exhibition of all nations in 1851 : forming a complete guide to the British metropolis and its environs : illustrated by upwards of two hundred steel engraving from original drawings and daguerreotypes : with historical and descriptive letter-press".
