Portion used |
Entire photograph other than insignificant cropping at the margins; I believe further cropping would lose the architectural detail and track layout the photograph is intended to illustrate; in particular the design of the station building, and the fact that buildings on both sides of the single rail track would have prevented doubling of the track. |
Low resolution? |
800×500px scan, substantially lower quality than the (full page) original. Further reduction would result in the loss of necessary detail such as the oil lamps; the station's signboards which demonstrate the change of operator to London Transport; and the spur-line junction immediately adjacent to the station, all of which are mentioned in the article. |
Purpose of use |
To illustrate the appearance of Westcott railway station during the short period (1933-1935) in which it was operated as a part of the London Underground. |
Replaceable? |
The majority of fittings and fixtures were removed in late 1935 less than two months after this photograph was taken, and the track itself was removed in 1936; it is thus impossible to recreate the photograph today. As far as I know no photographs of the station from this period exist in the public domain. An earlier photo, even if one could be found which was in the public domain, would not be a suitable replacement as this photograph shows later alterations to the platform made to accommodate larger size trains. |
