New Eltham Southern Railway Enamel Target Original A very nice original target with a few touch ups on the green area. Please see photos for condition. There are a number of face chip but do not detract. New Eltham station was opened as Pope Street Station in April 1878, twelve years after the opening of the Dartford Loop Line. The station was renamed New Eltham in 1886 although Pope Street was retained as a suffix until 1927. It had a goods yard on the up side which closed in 1963 and eventually became a car park, and a signal box just beyond the western end of the down platform. In 1955 the platforms were extended to take ten carriage trains. Happy to send more pictures if required
