The bridge is modern, probably built between 1984 and 1993 according to old OS maps. This was the period when the site of the Crystal Palace High Level station was redeveloped (out of shot right). Joining Crystal Palace Parade the original bridge spanned the south end of the station, believed to have been built at the time the enlarged Crystal Palace moved to south London in 1854. The Farquhar Road houses first appear on a map of 1894; in 1875 the land was shown as Brick Field. The houses are 3-storey at street level with a basement that, on steeply falling ground, is above garden level at the rear. Some have been divided into flats.
