Berrylands station
In 1834 an Act for building a railway between London and Southampton received Royal Assent. Local councillors in Kingston, coupled with the coaching interests and Lord Cottenham, owner of much of the land between Kingston and Wimbledon, objected to the railway running through the town, and so the railway was forced to pass a mile and a half to the south. A station opened in 1838 at what was then called “Kingston New Town” or, from 1841, “Kingston-on-Railway”. This was subsequently named Surbiton.
The next station up the line, Berrylands only opened in 1933, maps from early in the 20th century showing the area around the station as farmland.
It is high up above the surrounding roads and has fast tracks through the middle. This view is from the down platform looking up the line towards New Malden.
