Farringdon, Street / & HH Goods; - Photos Request

[StevieG]

I wonder if I may be permitted to pose the following request to the many readers of this site and forum, from a fellow rail professional interested in material about a certain aspect of the City Widened Lines in London. This is in regard to :

..."Farringdon Street (or Farringdon and High Holborn ) Goods Depot that was opened by the GNR on 02-11-1874 and closed on 16-01-1956 after being seriously damaged in WW2. I am particularily interested in seeking out internal and external photos, building plans and a track layout." .... - On website 'The Signal Box', .... - "...some photos of Farringdon and HH SB 'D' have recently been posted which show the connections to/from the Widened Lines into the depot entrance and I am seeking the rest .

I appreciate any assistance you would be able to give." - As would I.

I am also interested in Farringdon, both Met and Widened Lines. Particularly the GNR goods shed and yard. Did anything come of your friend's enquiries or your request here?

I have references for photos in the former BR/OPC collection (now at the NRM), taken in 1927 and 1941. Those from the earlier date are of truck hoists etc snd the later ones are of bomb damage.

I'll list the reference numbers for anybody who sends me a PM.

I was mostly just trying to widen the audience for my friend's request by repeating it here.

The only direct responses I'm aware of were as seen in this thread, though various posts about the past signalling and running lines' layout of that area can be found in various threads within http://www.signalbox.org/forum/index.php .
