Site of Upper Sydenham Station
There is little in this picture to give away that it was once a railway station, although if you look very closely, you might just make out part of a tunnel entrance through the trees in the centre of the image.
The railway was a branch line from Nunhead to Crystal Palace High Level station. The Crystal Palace itself was destroyed by fire in 1936, but the branch line struggled on, with few passengers, finally closing in 1954. Housing has been built over some parts of the route but nature has reclaimed the site of Upper Sydenham station. There are photos of the station on the 'Disused Stations' website, at
