Walworth Road railway station
- Walworth Road railway station
Walworth Road railway station was a railway station on the London Chatham & Dover Railway which opened in 1863 on the route of the company's ambitous plan to extend into the City of London. [ [http://www.loveplums.co.uk/Tube/Blackfriars_Loughborough.html Blackfriars Bridge - Loughborough Junction ] ] It was originally known as Camberwell Gate before changing its name in 1865.
Along with many other London stations wartime restraints forced it to close in 1916. At the time the closure was considered temporary, but the station never re-opened and was subsequently demolished. Today there are virtually no traces that this was once a station. [ [http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/stations/w/walworth_road/index.shtml Subterranea Britannica: SB-Sites: Walworth Road Station ] ] It was planned in the 1950s to open a tube station in Walworth on the Bakerloo Line, but the plans were abandoned.
