Tombleson's Panoramic Map of the Thames & Medway—source to the Nore—Bacon c1937

Undated, probably 1936–1939 (circa 1937). Cassington and Falconwood stations, both opened in 1936, are shown, while Bampton station still has its original name, which the Great Western Railway changed to Brize Norton and Bampton on 1 May 1940. Bacon’s Norwich Street premises were bombed out in 1941, so the printed address suggests publication by about that year. A pre-war issue is more likely than wartime production of this decorative panorama, and the Bampton name points to a date before May 1940. Circa 1941 is therefore a probable outer limit.
