The Peckham Rye to Sutton line via Streatham opened in 1868 which is when the station buildings date from. This is looking down the line towards Sutton and as can be seen all the buildings are on the up platform which is the side that everyone has to enter from London Road. There are no houses to the left, just the inaccessible Beddington Farmlands which include a sewage works, gravel workings and landfill sites.
