The NLS maps extract of Romford lower goods yard is below. Operationally was interesting as there's no run round because wagons were reversed down the incline to the yard. They always had to have brake van at the siding end direction, which in later years was a SR Queen Mary van in ER territory.

Flicking though Col's Bow Street thread I spotted the photo you may have been think of.

Bow Creek Wharf. c.1946. S7

Well JB got the ball rolling so I thought I'd add my contribution, firstly a plan in the style of Rice. I will add further info, sketches etc. in time. ATB, Col.

I also had a look at NLS OS maps and see the line ran to Romford Brewery, who had an internal rail system with two steam locos. I've often heard the name Romford Brewery but didn't realise it was part of Ind Coope as it was then.

If you're basing a small shunting layout around Romford Brewery it looks like a second Ruston will be required -
