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.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
