Nunhead station only has one entry/exit point, on Gibbon Road.
However, when getting off at Nunhead yesterday, I noticed that there
seems to be another, blocked, entry/exit point at the western end of
the platform, which presumably exited onto Evelina Road. Just
wondered (a) was there ever a second entrance; (b) if so, did it come
out on to Evelina Road; (c) when was it shut; (d) why was it shut? An
Evelina Road entrance would have been much closer to the centre of
Nunhead (i.e. Nunhead Green). Nunhead Station is virtually never
staffed, nor is it gated, so having a second entry/exit wouldn't have
increased staff costs.

I'd always assumed this space was the remains of a bay platform? The old
sidings space on the down side are still there.

The current station was opened in 1925, and replaced an older station
on the east side of Gibbon Road. For more information on that see this
entry on the Disused Stations website:http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/s...ad/index.shtml

MaxB - can you elaborate at all on the old sidings you speak of?

Between Peckham Rye, after Consort Road bridge to just short of Nunhead,
there were 4 tracks, presumably to handle Crystal Palace traffic. The green
area shows up well on aerial maps. You can see the missing bridge space at
Brayards Road.

The aerial photos do indeed demonstrate this well, and yeah I've seen
the couple of bridges under the line where the missing bridge decks
are apparent both from the train and from street level.

I was just wondering whether there was a small goods yard/ siding down
that way in times past. Somewhere I've got a map that shows where
various old goods yards in south London were... somewhere!
