My son has a school project to do about Kew Bridge Station in Victorian times. It would be nice if anyone could direct me to some late 19th early 20th century photographs or etchings. Also, the disused old Kew Bridge Station on the triangle. Copies of the train routes from this period. Any help gratefully received.
