the-e-dealer Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 East Brixton Station, LondonA disappeared station in the heart of south London.Report by urban75 editor, updated May 2006/Photo credits as statedOpened by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway on the 13th August 1866, East Brixton Station was located on the east side of Barrington Road, 30m north of its junction with Coldharbour Lane, Brixton.The station was originally known as as Loughborough Park before being renamed Loughborough Park & Brixton in January 1870. It was finally renamed East Brixton on the 1st January, 1894.The high level wooden station offered services to Battersea Park, Victoria, Peckham and London Bridge.Surprisingly, the station closed as recently as the 5th January, 1976 with the platforms and buildings being demolished pretty rapidly after the last train had departed.Although the station has all but vanished, trains still pass the site on their way to Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, with the street level entrance on Barrington Road remaining.
