Opened in 1871 by the London Chatham & Dover Railway, later part of the South Eastern & Chatham Railway, on the short branch line from Nunhead to Greenwich Park, this station closed in 1917. View south west at the forecourt site. The single-storey building fronted the road where the wall now is, between the two blocks of flats. Behind was a cutting with steps down to the platforms. The area has been redeveloped and no trace remains. For more information, see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/b/blackheath_hill/index.shtml.
