Brass LB & SCR Railway (England) Train Carriage Wall Lamps
Pair of brass and glass LB & SCR Railway carriage wall lamps / sconces presumably from England. The LB & SCR Railway operated from 1846 to 1922. Originally used candles but someone before me converted to electric candelabra bulbs with rotary on/off switches. In excellent condition and nice brass patina. The London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR; known also as the Brighton line, the Brighton Railway or the Brighton) was a railway company in the United Kingdom from 1846 to 1922.
Its territory formed a rough triangle, with London at its apex, practically the whole coastline of Sussex as its base, and a large part of Surrey. It was bounded on its western side by the London and South Western Railway (L&SWR), which provided an alternative route to Portsmouth. On its eastern side the LB&SCR was bounded by the South Eastern Railway (SER)-later one component of the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SE&CR)-which provided an alternative route to Bexhill, St Leonards-on-Sea, and Hastings.
The LB&SCR had the most direct routes from London to the south coast seaside resorts of Brighton, Eastbourne, Worthing, Littlehampton and Bognor Regis, and to the ports of Newhaven and Shoreham-by-Sea. It served the inland towns and cities of Chichester, Horsham, East Grinstead and Lewes, and jointly served Croydon, Tunbridge Wells, Dorking and Guildford. At the London end was a complicated suburban and outer-suburban network of lines emanating from London Bridge and Victoria, and shared interests in two cross-London lines.
