Shoreditch
I was in the Shoreditch area today so I went to see what was happening
at the old station. The station building is still there but just to the east its a major construction size. Looks like the cutting right up to the station platform has been infilled up to street level now so no chance of trains ever running there again! And unless they're going to keep it for historial reasons I'd suspect the stations days are numbered. B2003 |

Or in the case of spitalfields market land thats already occupied with a nice structure gets an ugly square join-the-dots blob dumped on top of it. B2003 |

I have forgot to upload them to Panoramio until now so they will turn up on Google Earth in a month or two, but here are some direct links: Old station (Brick Lane side): http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4755923 Old station entrance: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4756036 Infilled cutting: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4756007 The cutting further down towards Whitechapel: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4755987 Shoreditch High Street station construction site: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4755885 -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |

To stray slightly from Shoreditch, I looked at your others one of which is titled 'Old Railway Viaduct' which shows old lettering on the walls. I have occasionally wondered about this but seeing your photo made me find out the history of this. For anyone interested, this is a discussion about this on http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/38487/page=1 |

Must be this one then: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4755753 (taken 15 Aug) For anyone interested, this is a discussion about this on http://www.london-se1.co.uk/forum/read/1/38487/page=1 Very interesting, thanks for the link! For anyone interested, the place is easy to find. The lettering is on the wall on the eastern side of Blackfriars Road under the railway from Charing Cross. Practically just outside Southwark tube station. -- Olof Lagerkvist ICQ: 724451 Web: http://here.is/olof |
