Walworth Road Station was a station on the railway line between the old Camberwell Station and Elephant and Castle which closed in 1916. I came across this drawing on the Southwark Collections website which I thought may raise either a smile or a groan.

I've found the attached article


http://www.semgonline.com/RlyMag/ForeignDepotsofSthLondon.pdf


which describes and has a photo of the coal depot in Walworth Road which opened in 1871. The photo shows a wider area than the railway line at the station shown on the ordnance survey map of 1916 but a little to the north, where the old council depot was and Manor Place Baths, there is a stretch of railway with some sidings to the east.

So maybe this was the coal depot? BTW, the article also has information on the Peckham Coal Line which I think the people behind the proposed new Peckham Coal Line have used as background information.

    • Ocado stopped sourcing from Waitrose a few years ago. They now source from M&S and general brands. Waitrose have their own delivery service now. I don't know how well served SE22 is by it. Ocado offers for new customers are, or certainly were, really good, particularly in the run up to Christmas. I think I got 20%/15%/10% up to a maximum of £100 spend off my first three deliveries with no delivery charge or commitment to sign up for further deliveries. There wasn't a time limit, IIRC, so it was a great way of restocking heavy store cupboard basics and stuff for the freezer.
    • Fair enough point, but does that not in a way make it even worse if they open a shop almost directly  opposite another "family" business selling exactly the same type of products?
    • As Occado source from Waitrose, and were their only deliverer at one stage, and as Waitrose do now deliver it may be they feel their reach in ED is sufficient to mean having a local outlet would not gain them sufficient additional sales to be cost effective. The movement to delivery rather than physical shopping during Covid has I believe substantially changed the grocery economics. So it may be that the High Street dynamic for physical shops has now changed. 
    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?
