Renovating the Greenwich viaduct
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.) This viaduct, still the longest brick railway viaduct in the world, opened in 1836. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_and_Greenwich_Railway for its history.
