City Link depot, Willow Walk
One of several parcels businesses in this area (not surprising, as the Royal Mail sorting office is just out of shot to the right, hence the large postbox on the pavement). Both are built on the site of the former Bricklayers Arms railway goods yard.

Bricklayer's Arms Goods Depot, interior
View SE, inside one of the several loading-banks of the extensive Goods Depot and Locomotive Shed complex that constituted one of London's largest Railway Depots. It was at the west end of a branch from Bricklayer's Arms Junction and was the original terminus of the South Eastern Railway from 1/5/1844 to just eight years later. It was closed to passengers in 1/1852 and to Goods over 125 years later on 1/8/77.

Terraced houses in Pages Walk, Bermondsey
The houses are probably of the same age as the railway buildings beyond them
Image The roof arrangement, with each house having a gable end and a valley gutter between adjacent houses, is unusual and may be influenced by the form of industrial buildings.

Postbox on Willow Walk
This box serves mainly business customers as there are not many houses around here yet, although the buildings to the left in the photo

Here it is on the turntable at Bricklayer's Arms Depot in 1959.

Light industrial unit, Mandela Way
This area was previously the Bricklayers Arms railway goods yards and is now mainly distribution warehouses: a very visible triumph of road over rail.

Fallen branches, Willow Walk
After what had been billed as the strongest storm in Southern England for ten years, there was actually not much evidence of damage the next morning. This tree on the corner of Curtis Street was the only fallen one I saw in my 11km journey to work.
