This
little hut at Abbey Wood
was a Tram/Trolleybus shelter. Before 1935 Erith Corporation cars met
the
LCC ones here. A change was necessary to travel to from Woolwich. When
the trolleybus route 698 replaced Erith cars they enabled a through
journey. 15 August 2009. Photograph. John King. |
Greenwich Power Station from the
North bank of the Thames. It was built between 1903 and 1910 by the
London County Council to provide power for the LCC tramways.
After the withdrawal of trams and trolleybuses it helped provided power
for London's Underground. It is still in use today but only to back the
Underground. To the left of the picture can be the coaling stage out in the river, which is now disused. The large white windowless building to the right of the main one was the coal bunkers. 15 February 2009. Photograph. John King. |
