The end of the News - all human life was there
The news of the closure of the News of the World reminded me wistfully of this picture of a boarded-up shop awaiting demolition, taken for a college project back in 1969. It was, I recall in Amersham Vale though after 42 years I cannot be absolutely sure of its precise location. An innocent age long before 'phone hacking!

New Cross Gate station: view looking north
On 1 December 2015, the Southern Railway was not having one of its better days, so the protracted interval between trains allowed plenty of time for this photograph, where the most prominent feature is the new (2010) viaduct which carries the northbound Overground line above the SR tracks, on its way to join the East London line to Dalston Junction.

Long crossing, Cold Blow Lane, New Cross Gate
Looking west. It could be subtitled 'Under the Overground'. The bridge is named, not by Network Rail but by the Railway Authority as Bridge EL49 Cold Blow Lane Road Bridge (Deck E), owned not by Network Rail but by London Overground. It carries northbound and southbound tracks of the Overground, formerly the East London Line, serving New Cross Gate, West Croydon and Crystal Palace. Between the tracks are maintenance facilities and sidings for parking the five-coach trains.
