The ‘’Westminster Terminus Railway’’ had been formed by an Act of Parliament in 1854, promoting a railway crossing the Thames and into Westminster. The map shows a \"Station on Thames\" as the proposed terminus on a bridge to be constructed between Nine Elms and Pimlico, with the entrance on (presumably) what is now Grosvenor Road or Millbank. However in 1856 another Act of Parliament was passed, authorising the abandonment of the company’s proposed lines which had already received Royal Assent. In 1858 the ‘’Victoria Station \u0026amp; Pimlico Railway’’ project emerged, which resulted in today's Victoria station, crossed the river to the west of the location proposed in this map, and with the station firmly planted on the Middlesex side of the river.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50718369743195,"sku":"P-6-012079","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-6-012079a_8a12658d-e15b-4d0e-9778-23b17779cb9a.jpg?v=1748736854"},{"product_id":"westminster-terminus-railway-plans-victoria-station-precursor-haddan-1855-map-p-6-012078","title":"WESTMINSTER TERMINUS RAILWAY plans.
