Introduction
The photograph on this page of Lewisham station by Marathon as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

The original part of Lewisham station opened in 1849, on the North Kent Line which by-passed Greenwich because the Royal Observatory did not want their sensitive instruments disturbed by trains. This view looks along that original line towards Blackheath. A Networker train is just leaving on its way to Blackheath.
