History of 12 Natal Road

1913 (12)

Alfred Peckham, railway pilot

The title probably refers to a pilotman, an experienced railway employee responsible for guiding train movements when normal signalling arrangements were disrupted or when drivers required assistance over unfamiliar routes. The role demanded detailed knowledge of railway operating rules and local lines and was an important safety position within the railway service.
