VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image displays an antique architectural drawing of the West Down Station, associated with the L. B. & S. C. R. Company (likely standing for London, Brighton and South Coast Railway). The drawing is composed of three main sections: 1. Top: A longitudinal section of a platform or building structure, depicted as a long horizontal elevation showing the side view with various levels marked out. 2. Bottom left: A cross-section labeled "Cross Section, " which provides a transverse cut through the structure, revealing internal details such as rooms or spaces within. 3. Bottom right: Another detailed section labeled "Section, " offering another perspective on the internal layout and design elements of part of the station. The scale provided indicates that it's drawn at 'Scale 1 inch to 12 feet, ' suggesting that every inch on this plan corresponds to 12 feet in real life dimensions. At the bottom right corner, there are references to copies being sent out on April 14th without specifying a year and mentions Plan No. 671 from Waterloo Station Engineers Office dated February 26th—again without a specific year mentioned—which suggests these plans were used for official railway company purposes during what appears to be either late Victorian or Edwardian times based on style and typography. The overall condition of this historical document seems well-preserved with some signs of aging like discoloration and slight wear around edges indicating its antiquity. It serves not only as an artifact documenting railway architecture but also reflects engineering practices from its era.
