Railway stations in London

While the railway company that ran trains, under this station on a bridge, was Southern, at the time these photos were taken, it is now part of London Overground. My grandson was named Phoenix after this pub! Could have been worse, if his parents had met at the Slug & Lettuce.

Charing Cross railway station has virtually disappeared under retail and office space, so you aren't really able to see the station. Even the railway bridge into the station, Hungerford Bridge, has had new pedestrian bridges built on either side, with the tall support columns seen here, so that is as invisible! I have tried to make an attractive image out of this photo which was out of focus or suffering from camera shake, or both! The main effect used was 'poster edges', which hauled it back from the fuzziness it started with. To see the original state of this before doctoring please see - www.ipernity.com/doc/364457/31491583

This was taken before Blackfriars Station was extended right across the bridge. There is now an entrance on the south bank of the Thames.
