Neil,
A couple of probable locations.
52/59 602 New Malden. because of the wide 10 foot way and platform in the distance and cutting side sloping back to the station. Taken from a high vantage point which would be Arlek footbridge, just on the London side of New Malden.
56/59 629 Eastleigh shed See image 43 for the same pattern of windows on the shed building.

Cheers, Neil

 

Thanks Neil

Seeing that no one else has noted this, 202/222 shows 31624 not 31824 which is a U Class not an N.

As always an interesting collection of photos, Neil - thanks for posting.

A bit before my time!

13/17 665 I suspect this is Barnstaple Jn with the centre track and high station building but modern canopy on the left hand platform.

Cheers, Neil

 

Thanks Neil, maybe this next lot may be more your time

I have added a new collection of photos featuring the Urie/Maunsell S15 class

The LSWR S15 class is a British 2-cylinder 4-6-0 freight steam locomotive designed by Robert W. Urie, based on his H15 class and N15 class locomotives. The class had a complex build history, spanning several years of construction from 1920 to 1936. The first examples were constructed for the London and South Western Railway (LSWR), where they hauled freight trains to the south coast ports and further west to Exeter, as well as occasional passenger work in conjunction with their larger-wheeled N15 class King Arthur counterparts
LSWR/S.R. Urie S15 4-6-0 496 to 515

Following the Grouping of railway companies in 1923, the LSWR became part of the Southern Railway, and the Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) of the newly formed company, Richard Maunsell, increased the S15 class strength to 45 locomotives. Maunsell incorporated several improvements, notably to the steam circuit and the locomotive's loading gauge, allowing it to operate on routes with height and width restrictions
