Default The railways over Great Suffolk Street

Evening all,

I was strolling down Great Suffolk Street in Southwark earlier today, and
as i went under the railway bridge (where both the Charing Cross and
Blackfriars lines cross), i noticed two things.

Firstly, the viaduct carrying the Blackfriars line looks insanely steep.
Does anybody know how steep? Or was i imagining that?

Secondly, there's a very railwayish building on the east side of the road
just north of the railways. Was there ever a station here?
