I recall reading something about this type of continuous check rail on the late Peter Johnson’s Canada Street (the later layout bearing the name), but I could be wrong?

Hi Jon,
Yes... A lot of "inset" trackwork had a finer 'check rail' ( https://bristolharbourrailway.co.uk.../01/95e2c558-1184-4d84-bb8d-69b4ea15a030.jpeg ) whilst some seems to have had none at all (

). I've gone with the 'heavy stuff' partially to acknowledge the intense building effort that went on across the river at Rotherhithe during the later war years - they prepared the concrete caissons for the Mulberry harbour at Arromanche (Mulberry Harbours at Rotherhithe's South Dock in the Second World War).

Cheers

Jan
