It was not in a Borough of Battersea

The London Borough of Battersea is a fairly recent invention. Before that there was the Metropolitan Borough of Battersea, dating from the early 1900s. Although the site of 9 Elms Sta may be within the bounds of both, the station as a station did not live long enough to be in either.--SilasW (talk) 15:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need map showing both Nine Elms and Waterloo

The express purpose of myself--and I would imagine many others--in consulting this article is to compare visually where LSWR's Nine Elms terminus was located with respect to its successor, Waterloo station. This article doesn't do that. It needs to. It needs a second map which shows both stations.

What is doubly confusing is that in the map provided, the vicinity looks visually much like that of Waterloo station: You have a bend in the Thames with a Bridge. Is that the bridge later called Waterloo Bridge (the map resolution's isn't 100% legible), in which case the new Waterloo which opened in 1848 didn't extend the line that far, visually? Or are Waterloo Bridge and station off the map, to the north? Hence, provide a second map with a scale showing a larger area.

By the way, at the top of this page, this article is classified as having "Low" importance in four different projects. That is both risible and logically impossible. In a sense, or from a philosophical standpoint, how can any topic be said to be inherently more or less important than another? By definition, there must exist at least one context in which this article has higher importance. So if it has "Low" importance in "WikiProject UK Railways", then for God's sake, create "WikiProject UK Railway History" and raise it.
