I'd never heard of Commercial Dock station : anyone know where it was?

It was on the London to Greenwich line, about half a mile west of Surrey
Canal junction. The name refers to the Surrey Commercial Docks (which were
not particularly close!).

There seems to be very little information about the station, and I have no
idea of dates, but the short-lived Southwark Station (1902-1915) was built
on or very close to the site.

The relative position of the station (1856-66) is clearly shown on two of
the maps, the enlargement on P52 being the better one. I can only assume the
OP is wondering where it sits on a streetmap, but when you look at how
little of Southwark Park remains visible from a passing train (located just
to the west) it is quite possible Commercial Dock was completely obliterated
much earlier. The site isn't noted in the current Quail track plans,
although Southwark Park is shown.
