Coombe Road
The bridge is of course now gone. The tram to New Addington now runs along the far left. The station building where the houses now are.

Looking towards Bingham Road. You can quite clearly see here how the Tramlink tracks curve round as opposed to the straight train tracks.

How time changes all things!

Looking towards Selsdon at the site of Spencer Road Halt (closed 1915.) You can just see the track in the bottom right photo.

The left photo is another view looking towards Selsdon. The right is towards Coombe Road

I find it amazing that in the 8 years between the 97 & 05 photos, nature has really taken over.
