Southampton West Railway Station Early 1900s
THIS dramatic night scene dates back to the 1905 when Southampton’s main railway station was known as Southampton West.
It was in 1935 when the name changed to Southampton Central.
A wide ranging modernisation scheme in the early 1970s swept away much of the old station including the distinctive clock tower that was once a local landmark.
