The 98 photo is pre street level. (Obviously!)
Pre-opening 2000 13 May 83

As with Woodside, the signs are covered although the vandals managed to graffiti the destination indicator on the left.

Looking south.

You cant get this view anymore, as you can see from the later photos the tram is at street level.

 

Bingham Road
Looking towards Woodside. Another Brill Photo. Looking towards Coombe Road
The ticket office
Are these Photos Brilliant or what?!?! Looking towards Addiscombe on the left.

Both looking towards Addiscombe.

You just cant get these view points anymore. I'm getting really misty eyed here!
Looking south to Bingham Road A fantastic signal now long gone.
All the above taken 13 may 83
A night shot circa 80

All that's left of the station. Part of the wall of the stairs that led up to the platforms.

I originally didn't have any photos of Bingham Road and now they're oozing all over the place. Quality!!!

On Ashburton Road looking towards Sanderstead

Looking directly at Sandilands Tram stop (The embankment in the 06 shot hides the stop). Sanderstead - Elmers End is from left to right.

I think the contrasting photos are brilliant and I even got the barb wire in the 06 shot. Oh it makes me want to leap about like a little girl!!
