This website is principally dedicated to both the Nine Elms Locomotive Depot and the Enginemen who worked there between 1838 and 1967. It will also attempt to enlighten the reader of the life, times and conditions that prevailed during those days by means of a variety of subjects to be found via this homepage.Whilst there is still time we shall be collating and publishing as many interviews and recollections of the steam days recalled by many of the S.R. Enginemen of those times in order that these events are not forgotten and are recorded for future reference. In addition to these first-hand accounts, a collection of complementary photographs will provide, where possible, the essential visual links to the numerous anecdotes that will provide an insight to those of you unfamiliar with those times and indeed perhaps many memories for those of you that actually worked in the environment of a steam locomotive's footplate. Latest additions: HISTORY: Another early map added thanks to Richard Bentley NEWS - Email from Patrick Collett and Helen Salthouse ENGINEMEN: D.D.Davies story added GALLERY: August 2008, last BR steam special 40 years later
