I'm sure this is where Regal Motors was in the 60s, has anyone got any pictures from the 60s of the shop?

The old station was restricted in length by the junction on the approach to the flyover, to the west of the picture, were the line from Kingston and Strawberry Hill comes over the top to join the line to Richmond and Waterloo. When longer trains were required the only space for longer platforms was to the east of the London Road Bridge. The flying junction (Twickenham Junction) was opened on the 22nd October 1883 as part of a scheme to ease the flow of traffic on the SW London suburban lines. Similar 'grade separated junctions' were opened at New Malden 1883 and Raynes Park 1884. Hampton Court Junction had to wait until 1915 as part of the electrification scheme.

A large sub-station building, built to house equipment for the electrification of the railway by the London and South Western Railway in 1915. A notice to staff dated 15th November 1915 warned them that from 12.0 noon on that date the recently laid conductor would be "electrically charged at a pressure of 600 volts" and that it would "alive" at all times .... "until further notice".

Cole's brewery, taken over by Brandon's {Putney} brewery Ltd in 1892. Brewing ceased at the Twickenham site in 1906.

Brandon's was in turn taken over by Mann, Crossman & Paulin in the 1920s, although Brandon's continued to operate as a trade name until 1949. In 1958 Mann Crossman & Paulin merged with Watney Combe Reid forming Watney Mann. Watneys of course is famous for the first keg bitter...Red Barrel.

This is a view of Twickenham Station. Twickenham Junction is at the junction of King Street, London Road and York Street.

This is not Twickenham Junction. It is the site of the Old raiway Station and junction of London Road and Whitton Road.

Twickenham Junction is in the town centre at the junction of London Road,York Street and King Street.

It is the old station - see my comment on the error in the naming. You are right in terms of road junction names, but Twickenham Junction still exists as the place where the railway diverges - Network Rail and Southwest Trains still use the name to describe the junction - but never the station

This station and the current one to the east of London Road Bridge have only ever been named by the railway companies as Twickenham.



Twickenham Junction is the point on the railway where the line to Strawberry Hill comes off the main line to Windsor



Maps including OS maps have erronously referred to the station as Twickenham Junction
