Shops on Fairfield Street, Wandsworth
As we sat on the top deck of a number 189 bus, my wife observed that this row of buildings looked a likely candidate for demolition, so I thought I should capture it. Image is already on the site, but this view is from a different angle. None of the premises seem to be operating, from Zodiac Records (open in 2004) on the left to the Persian restaurant on the right (open in 2009).

Relics of the Surrey Iron Railway, built into the wall of the Ram Brewery, Wandsworth
The plaque reads as follows:
'The Surrey Iron Railway was the first public railway in England, probably in the world. The railway ran along this road on its route from Croydon to the mouth of the River Wandle, a distance of nearly nine miles. Goods wagons were pulled by horses along a track of cast iron plates laid on stone sleepers, some of which are set in the wall below. The gauge was 4'2".
It opened in 1803, following the passing of the Surrey Iron Railway Act in 1801, and closed in 1846, the victim of the success of newer railways, powered by steam.
Wandsworth Society 1994'
The plaque and sleepers are to be found on the west side of York Road, not far from its junction with Armoury Way.

Site of a plaque commemorating the Surrey Iron Railway, York Road, Wandsworth
Looking north along the wall of the former Ram Brewery, in York Road, Wandsworth. Set into the wall near the plane tree are a number of stone sleepers, relics of the old Surrey Iron Railway which once ran along here to its terminus on the banks of the River Wandle, nearby. This railway is reckoned to have been the first in England to be opened for public use, in 1801. What is often overlooked is that railways (of a sort) were in use for industrial purposes long before the Steam Age. In the Nottingham area - so it is said - a railway (or tramway) was being used to transport coal as early as 1597.
