Ah BW, a meander into Blue-pelican's site can never be brief! Trouble is, he didn't just roam around Kentish stations, but all around the South and East Anglia too.
I still have no idea how to create a link either. So many times have I asked my sons to show me how to do stuff on the computer, tried it, then promptly forgotten again! All I can do is simply recommend Ian D. Nolan's site to any "Southerner". It will significantly reduce workbench time - guaranteed!

Quite right, these are excellent collections - a friend of mine is modelling Cheddar in 4mm scale and was very pleased to be pointed in that direction. This image of Castle Cary is wonderful:

The juxtaposition of coalyard, 'box, goods shed and former cattle dock is extremely pleasing and full of modellable details.
Ian Nolan's galleries are particularly impressive in their range and scope and full of not quite ordinary photos (by which I mean that he hasn't been choosy with the subjects; the ordinary is exactly what he's captured):

This is why I have a couple of scratch-built Italian ferry vans on the go:
