London and Southwest Railways button
Diam 19mm, domed.
Description: A railway button from the London and Southwest railway line.
The origin of this line was the London and Southampton Railway of 1839 which eventually extended to Dorset, Devon and Cornwall and was in fierce competition with the G.W.R. for West of England holiday and boat train traffic. The ownership, with the Midland of the Somerset and Dorset Joint
Railway brought considerable tourist business to the South Coast and the Company’s connection with Southampton Docks provided important ocean liner traffic. It amalgamated with other lines into Southern Railways’ in 1923. The button shows town coat of arms for London, Portsmouth, Winchester and Southampton. The Salisbury line was added in 1849, and the Salisbury arms were incorporated within the button. Since this button does not include the 5th coat of arms, it is believed to pre-date 1849.
