Default Maps, with some observations and some questions

There is no name on the blob on the southern end of the station, so I would
suspect it was a goods facility. There is however a Grosvenor Road Station
at the north end of the bridge.


Sorry, south end of the bridge? Comparing the map with the London
Railway Atlas, the blob on the left is in the location of Pimlico
(1858-1860), the pre-Victoria terminus, which begets Battersea Wharf
goods (?-1970). The blob on the right on the through line corresponds to
Battersea Park & Steamboat Pier (1860-1870).

(The current Battersea Park was opened as "York Road" in 1867)
