This alley between the two railway lines at Peckham Rye once led to the coal depot where wagon loads of coal were unloading from the siding above and transferred to ground level via a hoist next to the line. Closed in 1961 but part of the old coal merchant's sign (in Southern Region green) can still be seen.
