Opened in 1868 jointly by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway and the London & South Western Railway, on the line from Streatham to Wimbledon, this station closed to passengers in 1894 when it was replaced by a new station immediately behind the camera position. View west towards Haydons Road and Wimbledon, the former branch-line platform to Merton Abbey turned southwards where the supermarket now is. 120 years after the Wimbledon line platforms last saw passengers, they are still there!
