Exploring the furthest reaches Barbican station I noticed a third

KU tunnels, and what looked like a ground frame, still connected to
point rods disaooearing into the ballast, between the TL tracks. *Were
these related to the former Smithfield goods station? *( I thought
Smithfield goods was south of the TL tracks, as showm at
http://www.londonrailways.net/snowhill.htm.)

The line between Barbican and Moorgate was moved before the Barbican Centre
was built. (I don't know if this is relevant, but I thought I'd mention it.)


Regarding the moving of the lines (both LU and widened?), do you know
where to find further information on this? I had a look round the
Internet previously and found precious little.

It was in the early 1960s IIRC, possibly the same time that Aldersgate
became Barbican so books and magazines published around that time
ought to have some mention.
