Chapter 7 Heritage - Neglect & Destruction February 2018 The “Lillie Enclave” Fulham Within a quarter mile radius of Lillie Bridge, by West Brompton station is A microcosm of the Industrial Revolution - A part of London’s forgotten heritage The enclave runs from Lillie Bridge along Lillie Road to North End Road and includes Empress (formerly Richmond) Place to the north and Seagrave Road, SW6 to the south. The roads were named by the Fulham Board of Works in 1867 Between the Grade 1 Listed Brompton Cemetery in RBKC and its Conservation area in Earl’s Court and the Grade 2 Listed Hermitage Cottages in H&F lies an astonishing industrial and vernacular area of heritage that English Heritage deems ripe for obliteration. See for example, COIL: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1439963.

Managing Technical & Operational Development PhD Thesis Abstract The argument for this thesis is that patterns of past engineering and operational development can be used to support the creation of a good, robust strategy for future development and that, in order to achieve this, a corporate understanding of the history of the engineering, operational and organisational changes in the business is essential for any evolving railway undertaking. It has been the objective of the author of this study to determine whether it is essential that the history and development of a railway undertaking be known and understood by its management and staff in order for the railway to function in an efficient manner and for it to be able to develop robust and appropriate improvement strategies in a cost-effective manner.

  • THE LONDON ELECTRIC TRAIN 8 – CAPACITY CRISIS by Piers Connor CRISIS the First World War of 1914-18 Had Led to Huge Increases in Traffic on the Underground
    THE LONDON ELECTRIC TRAIN 8 – CAPACITY CRISIS by Piers Connor CRISIS The First World War of 1914-18 had led to huge increases in traffic on the Underground. By 1919, passenger journeys had increased by almost 70% over those in 1914 but stock totals had only risen by about 5% and maintenance had been reduced to minimum levels because of shortages of materials and manpower. Things were desperate and an emergency meeting of managers, led by Sir Albert Stanley, the chairman, took place on 12 August 1919 to discuss the issues. At the meeting, it was noted that 90% of tube stock was required for peak hour schedules and that “at certain times there was considerable deficiency”. It was said that this was due to “a shortage of skilled armature winders”. They were obviously having trouble keeping motor cars in service. The shortage of armatures was worst on the District Railway. In order to overcome the problem, the Underground group management agreed with the London & North Western Railway company that the armatures ordered for the Watford Joint Stock (WJS) would be diverted to the District, while the District’s armatures were sent to the British Thomson-Houston (BTH) factory at Rugby for rewinding and subsequent inclusion into the motors being built there for the WJS. There was also a general shortage of trailer cars, largely because they had opened the 1914-15 extensions to the Bakerloo using trailers ‘borrowed’ from the Piccadilly Line. This led to their restricting train lengths on both the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines to a maximum of five cars.
