Towards the end of the 19th century Waterloo LSWR consisted of 4

South, New or Cyprus
Central or Main
Windsor
North or Khartoum


Were they administratively different or just staff nicknames for the
different groups of platforms?


Cyprus and Khartoum were staff nicknames, but South, Central, Windsor and
North were official names. Each section seems to have had its own cab yard,
and passenger routes between the various concourses were not obvious.
South's platforms were not numbered in the main sequence (and in the main
sequence the LSWR did not apply different platform numbers to the opposite
faces of an island platform.

Are there any photographs of it, on the inside, when it was like that?
I can only find the current station concourse being depicted.
