Looking roughly north from Circus Street, beyond the gates is the route of the branch railway line from Lewisham to Greenwich Park, opened in 1888 and closed in 1917. Surprisingly this section has never been built on, and someone who was with me and pointed it out recalled the rails being in place as recently as the 1960s.
