449 forum posts 72 photos | Hi All - Can anyone offer any help in researching Godalmings (Surrey) old Railway Station which, after the extension of the original line through to Portsmouth became known as the Godalming’s Goods Station. Google searches reveals just the one photograph showing a train reversing out from the old station but I have not been able to discover any more. I would particularly be interested in finding any article from the railway press e.g. The Railway Magazine, Backtrack and similar journals to expand on the subject. |

55 forum posts 3 photos | alangodfreymaps.co.uk list an 1895 map of Godalming, which includes the New Station but without knowing the area it is hard to know if what you are looking for is also there. http://www.alangodfreymaps.co.uk/sy3115.htm I hope this link will get you to their catalogue page but this forum software did funny things getting it into this message so I am not so sure. Otherwise work your way through their website. Martyn |

I've spent many a happy hour trawling through the National Library of Scotlands maps on this page. Change the drop down menus at the top to change the reference maps (don't forget to change the country, there are many options that unexpectedly work).

55 forum posts 3 photos | Jon Lawes gives a very interesting reference. I have just looked using the OS 25 inch series 1892-1914 and it seems to show the Old Station with all the goods yard track layouts. A lot to explore. Martyn |
