Frederick William was killed by a gunshot at the Battle of Quatre Bras on 16 June 1815. The Battle, between Wellington's Anglo-Dutch army and the left wing of the Armée du Nord under Marshal Michel Ney, was fought near the strategic crossroads of Quatre Bras on 16 June 1815.
The newer part of Waterloo station. I like the contrast between this modern part and the older part.
Waterloo Village is now the remains of a formerly prosperous port on the Morris Canal in the mid 1800's. It was once restored to it's glory days by The Waterloo Foundation for the Arts. Through lack of funding and misguided uses of the village it is now a shamble of deteriorating buildings. Hopefully there will be a rebirth of interest in this historic and important part of history in the Northwestern pat of New Jersey. Photo by Mary 9-2013

Tempted to call this Waterloo Sunset but don't want to seem Kinky!!
Interesting to see the train spotters grouped at the end of the platform - Waterloo was very much the place to get those final Southern steam numbers. Train spotting (and photography) is now seen as a risk to security by many in rail authority and several stations do not allow it (even with a valid ticket)!
We were going to have 90 minutes here, have a bite to eat and maybe a beer. But in the end, we decided to catch the next train back to Dover, thus only having 45 minutes to rush round, get shots and a snack to eat on the train: Cornish pasties.
Waterloo Tinplate works was opened in 1875 by the Waterloo Iron & Tinplate Company.
"The works are situated in a lonely but a most convenient and easily accessible spot and cover an extensive area of ground, a railway-siding running in close proximity. The buildings present an attractive appearance. . . . . The works are supplied with steam by means of Lancashire boilers. . . . .Two mills, each driven by a separate engine, and two sets of cold rolls are driven by a third engine.
The buildings are of a most substantial character, with plenty of spare room, surrounded by seven acres of land. They are so arranged that at a future date rails or plates may be rolled. . . ."
Housing was built for the workers in 1891, a terrace called Waterloo Row, which is where the name of the village comes from. Previously, it was Ty’n y Coedcae, a reference to a local farm.
Mills powered by electricicty by 1922
There were a number of aircraft component works in the area, Waterloo provided some of the materials.
The works closed during World War Two and became a 'Naval storage depot', unsure if this means munitions, or something else. The works never reopened. All equipment cleared from site in 1950s and has been derelict since. There seems to be some site clearing / tree felling and new fencing in the last couple of years, and currently used for sheep grazing.
