London & North Eastern Railway – London Goods Cartage Boundary. Map of London shewing Goods, Coal and Passenger Stations, Depots and Receiving Offices of the London & North Eastern Railway. [Goods Cartage Boundary for Collection and Delivery of Traffic]
This is a London goods cartage boundary map, issued to show the zone within which the London North Eastern Railway Company would collect and deliver freight locally, presumably at a standard tariff or without an additional cartage charge applied. The map outlines a defined “Ordinary Cartage Boundary” surrounding London, inside which customers could rely on the railway to handle the short-haul transport of goods between stations, depots, and receiving offices. Freight infrastructure is prominently marked: goods and coal depots, railway goods stations, receiving offices and cartage depots, providing a detailed snapshot of how industrial London managed distribution during the early-20th century, when railways coordinated both long-distance haulage and local delivery. As such, this map represents an important piece of commercial transport history, capturing the logistics network that kept London’s industries operating before nationalisation of the major mainline companies in 1948.
