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.

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
