This view from Clarence Road bridge is looking in the direction of Bickley station, which can be seen in the distance. Trains first ran over this line in 1858 when the West End of London & Crystal Palace Railway line from Crystal Palace was opened. Until 2007, Eurostars could be seen passing along here. The photograph shows what excellent wildlife corridors railways make, even through suburbia.
