The remains of the Grand Surrey Canal. Today, this stretch of the canal has become "Surrey Canal Road". Much of the area has since been substantially rebuilt, and will be rebuilt again over the next few years as part of a massive regeneration project.

Remnant of the Surrey Canal, most of which had long since been bought up and replaced by the London Bridge - Croydon line (via Forest Hill). This section was still in use as part of Deptford's docks complex, although that, too, was disappearing fast by this time. The now-vanished branch line crosses the canal near the top of the image.

The "Old Kent Road" branch from Surrey Docks station. At this time, the line was still extant and in use. This is the line that has now been reopened as part of the East London Line's Phase 2 extension to allow trains to run to Clapham Junction via Denmark Hill.

Branch line to Deptford's docks complex (known as "Commercial Docks"). Now long gone; very few traces remain, although a stretch of embankment still remains in one of the industrial estates in the old docks area. This is the point where the branch crosses what is now the East London Line. At this time, the station now known as "Surrey Quays" was still known as "Surrey Docks", renamed from "Deptford Road" in 1911.

Deptford Park Primary School, Evelyn Street. This building is still there, unlike many of the streets & houses around which are now part of the Evelyn Housing Estate.
