The branch railway line to Angerstein Wharf was opened in 1852 named after its promoter, John Angerstein. In 1892 the line was leased to the Southern Railway and eventually passed into the hands of British Railways. No passenger services ever ran and public goods facilities were withdrawn in 1956, but private sidings continue to provide traffic, such as incoming stone and outgoing sea-dredged aggregates. The sides of the train coaches on the extreme right of the image are part of the visiting Pathfinder Tours charter Image The view is towards North Greenwich and Canary Wharf.
