Part of a map of the suburban lines of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway made in ceramic tiles and on display at Victoria Station. It dates from after 1905 (because Bandon Halt station opened in 1906) and from before 1911 (because it shows Stoats Nest station which was renamed in that year).
At the centre of the image on the right is a station entrance. Go in there and look to your left. You will see a ceramic map of the whole of the LB&SCR network. A few steps further on and also on the left is this map. (Some of you have walked past it many times and never seen it!)
The map key describes Bingham Road, Spencer Road and Bandon as "motor halts". The green 'V' below Sanderstead marks a golf club, presumably Purley Downs GC.
The silver object near the bottom is the head of a screw which is holding a protective perspex sheet in place.
