EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Eltham Park Station in South-east London, as it appeared in 1915. Located on Westmount Road in Eltham, the station was opened in 1908 as part of the South Eastern & Chatham Railway (SECR). The railway line, which connected London to various destinations in Kent and beyond, brought significant growth to the area, making it an essential transport hub. The station building, with its red-brick facade and ornate details, stands proudly in the image, reflecting the optimism and progressiveness of the early 20th century. Trains, a common sight at the station during its heyday, are absent from the scene, leaving the platform empty and quiet. The station's name, "Eltham Park," is prominently displayed on the station sign, hinting at the nearby Eltham Park, a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. Sadly, the station was closed to passengers in 1985, leaving the once bustling transport hub abandoned and forgotten. Despite its closure, the station building still stands, a testament to the rich history of rail transport in London. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the sounds, sights, and stories that once filled Eltham Park Station.
