Miscellaneous Southern Artefacts
| A product of the LSWR/SR's concrete works at Exmouth Junction these prefabricated huts produced for lineside use were a common feature not only throughout the Southern's territory but later under British Railways elsewhere in the country. They were designed to fit within the loading gauge - chimney excepted - when conveyed on top of a flat wagon. |

The top two pictures are views of each end of the SR
concrete platelayers' hut in Alton Mid Hants Railway
station. Apart from the anti-vandal window bars this hut is largely in its
original condition. Note the chimney, which is very distinctive. The bottom
picture is that of a SR hut on the Seaton branch - this has been slightly
altered for its current use by the Seaton tramway and does not display its
original chimney.
