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.

Looking through the gate of a construction site at the southern end of Fairthorn Road, towards apartment blocks and town houses under construction.
Sadly there appears to be no Geograph photo of the warehouses formerly on the site.
