Angerstein Wharf branch railway line
The Angerstein Wharf branch railway line is one of the very few freight railway lines left in the Greater London area which serve the River Thames and are still active. It branches away from the North Kent Line near Charlton station and heads north to terminate at Angerstein's Wharf on the Thames, one mile away.
John Angerstein was a successful businessman from a Russian family and is thought to be the only individual to obtain an Act of Parliament for a railway. If the branch had not passed over a turnpike road he would not have needed to go to this trouble. Today long lines of hopper wagons can be seen passing over Woolwich Road and Bugsby's Way on their way to and from the Thames.

Old factory entrance, Holmwood Villas
Holmwood Villas is the name of a short street off Woolwich Road ending in this dead end. The quality of the stonework of these arches suggests they were the main entrance to a factory or other building (I have not yet found out what). See also Image on the far side of the currently derelict site.

Railway bridge over Woolwich Road
The bridge carries a single track freight railway. See Image which shows a train about to pass over the bridge.
The road sign in front of the bridge is for the roundabout beyond it, which gives access to the A102 (Blackwall Tunnel approach road).
