Railway Map of London - c1910

A simple little sketch map - almost diagrammatic in effect - of London's railways c1910. Lots to look at here - with the tube network having mushroomed in a century whilst various 'mainline' branches and lines have vanished in the century.

 

The simplicity of this - which although geographic in layout has removed the underlying topography except the River Thames - puts me in mind of the Stingemore tube diagrams of the 1920s and indeed Harry Beck's famous Tube Diagram of 1932/33.
