Selhurst Place, LONDON, SE25 5PY

First appearing on 1890s maps as a 'Workmen's Chapel' later an institute, now a day nursery.

Taken from a train bound for East Croydon on a day of delays and congestion; in the middle distance a stopping train bound from West Croydon to London waits for clearance to join the up slow line into Selhurst station, whilst further off a fast train from the Sussex coast dawdles along the congested up fast line.

View overlooking the London Overground tracks to West Croydon from a Victoria bound train approaching Selhurst.

Seen from a passing Victoria - Brighton line train south of Selhurst, Maunsell L1 4-4-0 No. 31786 (built 4/26, withdrawn 2/62) is on the line to West Croydon etc.

The junctions at Selhurst mark the point where trains from two London terminals - Victoria and London Bridge - meet north of Croydon and are in turn shuffled and distributed either to the main lines south through East Croydon, serving the Weald and the coast, or the more suburban south-western destinations reached through West Croydon. Taken from the slow lines between East Croydon and Victoria. In the background a southbound express on the fast lines; in the middle distance, the line from West Croydon towards London Bridge passes below the photographer's position, whilst a spur from this climbs rightwards to join the slow Victoria lines just south of Selhurst station.

The railway junctions occupy land that was formerly Croydon Common, and the heathland vegetation is an indication of this.
