Description: | This photo shows New Cross station, on the South Eastern Railway. This is still served by trains on the fast London link, but then, in 1913, they were provided by the Metropolitan Railway.
The signs show that it was an important station linking southeast London to Kent and the coast. The journey times as posted on the walls are almost as quick as they are now.
New Cross during 1900-1915, when the photograph was taken, was an expanding middle-class suburb. The 200-acre Hatcham Manor estate was built during this period. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | 1900 - 1915 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | Copied by : Colin Tait | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
