I spent a week in Lewisham in 2006. I was bored one afternoon and walked this random collection of alleyways and paths. Little did I know, part of my walk was an abandoned rail route.
In the 1980s when working in Greenwich, I walked much of the line from Stockwell Street to the bridge over Brookmill Road, taking photographs en route. The allotments at Prior Street were a Garden Centre then. As a child in the blitz, I sheltered for a time under Blackheath Hill Station; the entrance we used was from Sparta Street.
When I was working for the London borough of Greenwich in the early 70s, we had to visit a site near to the old Greenwich park terminus building which was still there then!
Thanks for that Geoff. The missus and I love Greenwich (we had our first proper date in the Trafalgar by the river 😜) and so this is especially interesting. I have seen quite a lot of pictures of various parts of that railway but mostly when abandoned and decrepit 🤷🏻♂️ Really interesting to see that at least there are a few remnants remaining at the old stations In truth it is no surprise there is nothing left of Greenwich Park. I think it was just not convenient enough to take traffic away from the other station being a more circuitous route, so I guess once the trams and buses offered an alternative it’s days were always numbered. There are some great pictures about though and it seems it was a rather nice looking station in its day 🤔 Cheers Geoff, I love these quick fire history info bombs! Really good fun 😎👍🍀🍻
Sorry to correct there but the line crossed over about 40 feet shy of St Johns platforms as you can still see the old embankment section that St Johns signal box nestled under (concrete base of the old pier and signal box still there). It wasn't a flying crossing but a dead straight crossing spinning off from the '29 spur. My late father was one of the first railwaymen to arrive at the disaster site which the temporary army bridge is still in superb condition all those years on. He was a humble box boy at North Kent Jnc signal box and he hoofed it all the way down the tracks as all the SE division lines were power off, signals red with station staff, signal staff, off duty staff racing to get to the crash hampered by thick fog. I remember when St Johns was still 4 platforms and was a stop on the Orpington-Charing X/Cannon St (but not the Bromley N-Charing X as that was semi fast missing St Johns and New Cross on the up and same on the down) The fast ramp that comes down off the overbridge used to be the Continental sidings attached to Hither Green where fast boat train freights were assembled for express running down to the train ferries or for unloading at Medway and Queensborough yards.
Geoff you should’ve interviewed the owner of the junkyard where Lewisham road station was, Lewisham council wants to demolish it and redevelop the land and I believe there is a campaign to save it!
In Brookmill Park next to Elverson Road DLR there is a hill which the railway would have went over, with wooden sleeper steps (as far as I can tell that’s what they are)
Loads phone boxes have been converted to community use - quite often a library or book swap, mostly in small villages where the "phone" aspect has been decommissioned due to not being financially viable.
I do not if it is the case in London but often around the more rural parts of the country the red phone boxes now house defibrillators. This is another excellent use of a largely redundant community facility.
In greenwich there was a phonebox that a cupcake company used for click and collect orders, and there was someone who did phone repairs out of one as well. Not sure if that is still true though
Septi...er...Yank here. My wife and I were blessed with the opportunity to live in Greenwich for four years. Although we were only there for a short time, I still consider Greenwich my spiritual home. (My daughter was born at University Hospital Lewisham, so that may have something to do with it too.) Thank you for this lovely video. You've got a new subscriber!
Another lovely video, of London Lost Railways some lovely hidden gems today as well, I do have a London Railway Atlas which list everything from future station to Disused Stations and Railway Lines and has been helpful.
Really interesting video Geoff, thanks. My grandfather was born in 1882 close to both Brockley stations and lived in the Lewisham and New Cross area for many years. His father (my Great-Grandfather) worked on the railway as a track labourer and in early 1886 died in Guy's Hospital from a fractured skull a few hours after being hit by a steam loco at Metropolitan Junction between London Bridge and Waterloo.
Looking at the map, by not reopening those stations when that section reopened, they left a large gap between Nunhead and Lewisham, especially as the line is busier than it used to be. Indeed there are council/TfL plans to get the station at Brockley (Lane) reopened, but it's a long term aim...
There was the remainder of the embankment opposite the DLR tracks on Brookmill Road which ties in with the old alignment from Lewisham Road when I worked locally back in 2005-6.
There are some pieces of carved masonry around the market place between Burney St and th main road which I believe were part of Greenwich Park Station. I cursed the destruction of this line when I had slow bus journeys from Greenwich to Peckham Rye. It would have saved me several hours a week. I could also have used it as part of my route when I worked in Crystal Palace.
As a youngster growing up in that area, I recall that there were more traces of the line, Blackheath Hill and Greenwich Park stations still existed but had been put to other uses, for many years the former was a small factory. The bridge over the River Ravensbourne on the Lewisham/Deptford/Greenwich border still existed next to Brookmill park but the embankment (which I believe still exists came to an abrupt end on the Greenwich side and the embankment through Coldbath Lane and the subsequent cutting through to Hill Station filled in. Although I lived quite close, I had no idea that there was a tunnel where Lewisham Road crossed over the line, the National library of Scotland has an interesting 1950's map of the area online, showing what remained of the route at that time.
Love your videos Geoff, I usually watch them with a cup of tea and feel right British even though I am a Canadian but have British roots. My dad took me to London a few years back because he does work on the Tube and would love to visit again when I can.
There may be one more relic. Near the east end of Circus Street in Greenwich, on the north side, is what looks like a degraded parapet of a bridge carrying the street over the branch. On the other side of the road, a little further west, is a pair of large semi-detached houses which are built on the formation of the branch, and match older houses a little further down the street. StreetView shows all this clearly. Keep up the good work Geoff!
Such a cool post and idea, we all love this about how much land and importance the railways had, wonderful brickwork and grand stations in a bygone era. Thank you.
That was fab! Thank you. I love old railways, I love London’s history and I love seeing the scars left by previous times and your series combines it all 😀
1:57 You would love to see the "Buchhaltestelle" ("bookstop") in Tennenlohe in southern Germany, where an old bus shelter has been turned into a place where you can borrow books in a we-trust-you style or read while waiting for your bus.
You've managed to cleverly angle your shot so it's almost not visible, but the road sign at 2:03 has an extra E grafted on the end, and reads "Lewishame Way"! Quite fitting...
The Greenwich park branch was built by the Chatham railway in an attempt to extend its network to Woolwich Arsenal before the SER did but ultimately the SER reached Woolwich via Lewisham
Thank you for an excellent video, Geoff. I clicked on the link to find out a bit about Greenwich Park, which I am researching. Although you didn’t cover the park, I thoroughly enjoyed this video and found it very engaging.
Geoff was just up the rd from me (St. Johns Vale), & I missed him! Would have brought tea, too.... Maybe if he ever times the hop between St Johns-Lewisham?
I lived in one of the side roads off St John's Vale and before then, across Lewisham Way in another side road. My mum had a friend who lived in Geoffrey Road very close to the little roundabout.
I really wish you could insert some pictures of the stations and platforms when they were in use or in their heyday as a before and after type thing. 😃Cheers from Newfoundland
me too! but i'm not one for using others copyrighted photos in my videos. if you you follow the links in the descriptions though it takes you to the 'Disused Stations' website which has lots of photos!
@@geofftech2 Nick Catford's a friendly chap when I've met him, might be worth an ask - little to lose. Some of those are taken by him himself, and the others are credited to people he may be able to put you in touch with (although I accept just 'cos a photo is from a X's collection doesn't mean X actually also holds the copyright to allow it to be republished, but at least it would show a element of good will and an attempt to gain permission on your part)
The 'Weak bridge' sign in Lindsell Street (just past Blackheath Hill station) is also a remnant as that's the old tunnel to Greenwich. Likewise there is the massive embankment from just after Lewisham junction towards Greenwich just after where the line joins. You can see this from the streets but is clearest form the line, or the other side of the Aladdins Cave store.
Great video. You missed an interesting survivor of the line's infrastructure. On either side of Brookmill Road you can see the remains of the railway bridge that used to span it. One of the embankments is now 'Brookmill Nature Reserve' and opposite it on the other side of Brookmill Road you have a small hill in the corner of Brookmill Park (the other embankment). Thanks
It might not be a station - but its still a pretty prominent feature. Just opposite where the tracks curve round to join the line to Lewisham there is something called "Brookmill Nature Reserve". This is actually the old railway embankment of the Greenwich Park branch sandwiched between the existing railway and the A2210 road. It would have continued on the other side of the road too running behind the houses in Elverson Road through what is now Brookmill park but I think that part of the embankment has been removed.
You can find images on google of the Greenwich Park line at various times, but I can't now find a picture of the railway bridge that crossed Brookmill Road.
@2:13, there is/was planning permission to build flats on the land now occupied by Aladdin's cave. @2:30, I lived at the bottom of a road where the last property stands beside the line and from my bedroom window in the house nextdoor, I could see the Victoria trains and hear the rumble of the frequent freight trains during the night. @2:49, if you had headed in a different direction, you would have come to Brookmill Road and seen where the how demolished railway bridge crossed the road, and in Brookmill Road nature reserve there is/was a workers' railway cabin. @4:20, Burney Street leads onto Royal Hill which eventually becomes Blisset Street under which is the filled in railway tunnel.

‘Geoffrey Road’ was a nice discovery.
I wonder if there was a Marshalling yard nearby? (sorry Geoff. Couldnt resist)
Pah, his wife has got a station named after her!
Anybody know of any Tanuki Road?

I could easily watch Geoff do this for all the lost railways in the United Kingdom, such great content!
I had no idea there were so many lost railways in this area.
So much to discover in London!

St John's was my home station and the house where I lived stands in the triangle between the lines to London and Victoria.
I went out and did all ur walks
Love the phone box library. These are so interesting. Thank you! That imprint of the old building at 3:13. Yes! Fantastic research.
Geoff you should’ve interviewed the owner of the junkyard where Lewisham road station was, Lewisham council wants to demolish it and redevelop the land and I believe there is a campaign to save it!
Oh no! It´s such a nice building, with the tracks down there. Would be amazing if someone could renovate it!
"Redevelop the land" probably means "build another car park"...
It was rejected
In Brookmill Park next to Elverson Road DLR there is a hill which the railway would have went over, with wooden sleeper steps (as far as I can tell that’s what they are)
Always loved the Aladdin's Cave shop, especially as its in an old railway station!
I watch these videos before going for runs at the rail trails near my house. Can't wait to get back to London to run these
Omg I love the fact that there’s a Library...in a Red Telephone Booth. Well spotted, Geoff!
Loads phone boxes have been converted to community use - quite often a library or book swap, mostly in small villages where the "phone" aspect has been decommissioned due to not being financially viable.
@@farmersteve129 I didn’t know that. Quite fascinating.

K3 box. Much bigger than the usual K6 kiosk

Finally I know a mystery behind empty corner at Royal Hill and Peyton Pl! Thank you!
I was half expecting Geoff to walk through an old timeslip doorway and emerge the other side in wartime London.
Now I would subscribe to that! A bit like Goodnight Sweetheart but an updated, rail-themed take.
@@maplady572 Ah yes, I loved that programme. Very well written.
I'm really enjoying this series of lost railways... Thanks
Although I don't live anywhere near London I rather enjoy watching these lost railway walks.
How can anyone dislike this video?

No its kept really well.

Not much left but good ‘finds’ as it was abandoned such a long time ago. Good sleuthing Geoff! 👍🚂
Awesome vid mate. Saf east landan born n bred but now living down under. Great to see my old hood and it’s history being kept alive. Cheers Geoff ,
A very short lived line - amazing that you found some of the relics - excellent once again!
There was the remainder of the embankment opposite the DLR tracks on Brookmill Road which ties in with the old alignment from Lewisham Road when I worked locally back in 2005-6.
I stayed at that particular hotel some years ago. Good to know that it was once a train station (or at least the car park)
This is amazing, this is where I was born, incredible stuff Geoff, love the content
These are great insights into the past railways of London,thanks 👍
This series is excellent. Really enjoying it!
Another excellent episode, enjoying these. Great mix of ambient and VO sound BTW.
Great presenter. Very much enjoy his work. Allotments and railways hand in hand in urban areas.

There's a proposal to build an interchange station at Brockley to maintain connection, in part of the metroisation project.
A great concise video! Always been fascinated by this little known line. There was also a short tunnel under Blissett Street no trace of it now.
The Greenwich park branch was built by the Chatham railway in an attempt to extend its network to Woolwich Arsenal before the SER did but ultimately the SER reached Woolwich via Lewisham
You missed Brookmill Nature Reserve which is the old embankment out of Lewisham Road Station
Somewhere on my computer, I have a picture of the railway bridge that used to cross Brookmill Road.
Beat me to it. With the other embankment opposite it in Brookmill Park.
Great job Geoff! Can’t wait for episode 8! These videos are so informative. Keep up the hard work.
Wow! I live in Greenwich and walk past/near many of these place often I never would have guessed!! Thanks Geoff, great video😊

If you search friar Gate in Derby on Google maps (sattelite mode) you can see there is some old platforms and tracks that are still on the bridge.
There’s something to be said for merging Nunhead and Brockley into a Thameslink/Overground interchange.
Love the old entrance to Brockley Station. What a lovely small seating area that would make.

How about some Lost Railway's from other parts of the UK? Lots to see here in the west end of Glasgow for example.
This would be the closest walk to me. And a good excuse to go Greenwich !
Great idea for a video series. Surprised it had never been done!

Who owns the old station/ air raid shelter? Would be amazing to have a video of inside there!
Do you think these railways would have been useful and or profitable today, Geoff? Thanks for this mini series and for always being so cheerful.
maybe some of them could have been turned into light rail, trams? thank you too! :-)
Geoff how about do videos on county to county like the London ones
Good idea
Brockley may one day get it’s high level platforms back to interchange with London Overground and Southern services.
What are the odds that you could get someone to open those red doors and see what's left of that WWII air raid shelter/station?
