Situated in Rotherhithe New Road at the junction with Corbetts Passage. The entrance is beneath the bridge and two windows of the ticket office etc. in Corbetts Passage. Opened in 1902, closed as a war economy in 1915 and never re opened.

These bridges carry the railway lines from London Bridge station with services to much of south London, Kent and the south coast.

The remains of Southwark Park Station, closed in 1915. Taken from Corbetts Lane, looking towards Rotherhithe New Road.

One of a pair of buildings currently known as Dilston Grove (after the name of a local street that no longer exists since post-war redevelopment). The site is now off Abbeyfield Road on the edge of Southwark Park. This later building is an annexe to the former church Image and has been fitted with the same polycarbonate window protection as the church.

Off Rotherhithe New Road, opposite Raymouth Road and runs into Silwood Street. Many will know it's named after the Canadian murderer, William Corbett, who was hanged on 04-04-1764 for two murders in Cherry Garden Street, Bermondsey, SE1. His body was hung on a gibbet in Rotherhithe New Road (then Deptford Road). What may not be known is on the railway lines above, about 1839 the worlds first signal box was erected. Far end of the image can be seen Southwark Park British Rail Station (1902 to 1915).

Eight of the ten coaches of this train can be seen as it crosses Rotherhithe New Road.

One of a pair of buildings currently known as Dilston Grove (after the name of a local street that no longer exists since post-war redevelopment). The site is now off Abbeyfield Road on the edge of Southwark Park. This older building dates from 1912. It was originally known as the Clare College Mission (being founded by graduates of that Cambridge college) and later as the Church of the Epiphany. The architects were John Simpson & Maxwell Ayrton, and it is notable for being one of the earliest reinforced concrete (then known as ferro-concrete) churches in the UK. Now listed grade 2 (list entry number 1385919) mainly for that reason. It was declared redundant as a church c.1950, and converted to artists' studios in the 1960's. Since 2010 it has been used as a single empty space for large scale art installations.

A Roman Catholic church built in 1902 and said to have been built to cater for the vast number of Irish labourers who came to the area to assist in the building of the railway on the nearby viaduct. That said, the viaduct was built or started about 1832ish.
