For anyone interested, this is a discussion about this on
http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/38487/page=1
I know it well. It's just East of Waterloo East. Was there a station on
the other side of Blackfriars Road at one time then? The viaduct is wider
than the tracks there too.
There are some pics and a few notes on Blackfriars Bridge goods and
passenger stations at Nick Catford's Disused Stations site:

and on the Disused Railways fotopic site:

and Loveplums:

Some minor duplication of views, but all three well worth a browse.

Welcome to the wonderful world of confusion! OK, this is a critical
distinction here - the now gone Blackfriars Bridge station is a
*different* station to the Blackfriars station (Charing Cross railway)
that we are referring to.
So, to be clear, here are the different stations with Blackfriars in
the name, all of which were on different sites.
* Blackfriars station (Charing Cross Railway) - 1864 to 1869.
On the line between London Bridge and Charing Cross. Replaced by
Waterloo Junction station (now called Waterloo East).
* Blackfriars Bridge station (London Chatham & Dover Railway) - 1864 -
1885 (remained open for goods until 1964).
On the "City Line" between Herne Hill/ Elephant & Castle and the now
closed Ludgate Hill station north of the river. A station called St
Paul's opened south of Ludgate Hil, but still north of the river in
1886.
(The City Line is the line now used by Thameslink between the modern
Blackfriars station and E&C.)
* The modern-day Blackfriars station -opened as St Paul's in 1886, but
renamed as Blackfriars in 1937.
The station facade on Blackfriars Road that we are talking about is
that of the first station in the above list!
