Railway arch by Raymouth Road
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 20 Jul 2010
In 2010 a number of railway arches alongside Raymouth Road that had previously been used by a commercial vehicle repair business were vacated, and renovated by Network Rail's contractors before being put up for rental again. The foreman kindly allowed me far enough in to the site to take a couple of photos (I could not go further without the necessary permit, safety gear etc.) The main viaduct at this point is 37m wide and carries nine tracks out of London Bridge, serving the North Kent, Lewisham/Hayes and Croydon/Brighton lines. As can be seen from this view it actually consists of at least two (probably three) separate structures side-by-side. A narrower viaduct (just visible behind) carries the two tracks of the line to Peckham Rye and Herne Hill.
