This bridge was built to cross a railway. The railway line, which ran to Crystal Palace High Level, closed in 1954 but over half a century later, the footbridge is maintained in good condition. The tracks passed beneath the second span of the bridge. To see how the bridge looked when the railway line was intact, and in the intervening years as nature has gradually reclaimed the site, have a look at the Disused Stations website http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/l/lordship_lane/index2.shtml See Image for another view and the Pissarro connection explained.
