Suburban e.m.u. departing for London Bridge. Lewisham Railway Station.

This image seems to show up the colour differences, mentioned in the previous post, a little more markedly. I travelled on the section Mottingham - London Bridge, and v.v, on several occasions and couldn't understand why we didn't always seem to pass through this station. When I got home, to N.Z., I studied a map and was soon able to put my mind at rest - I wasn't going to sleep at the critical times, after all - there is a line which by-passes Lewisham Station and, presumably, especially at Peak times, some services took the by-pass. Easy when you know how/why.

This train was comprised of 2 sets of vehicles, each of different colours. Unfortunately, I can't remember what they were and, because I had to take the photograph on the shaded side, they don't show up, terribly well.

Lewisham shopping centre, with market stalls outside.

This river is flowing behind shops on Lee High Road, I do not know what the zig zag is for but I guess it is to slow the flow down before it reaches the bridge I took the picture from. Taken from Clarendon Rise.

This is near the centre of Lewisham. I am standing outside a shop which specialises in cosmetic and hair products for Afro-Caribbean people and which also has worldwide money transfer services. Across the road is an internet cafe and a Sri-Lankan restaurant. And on the far left, in the window of the off licence, are numerous posters advertising special rates for overseas phone calls. Just after taking this picture, I ate at a Turkish restaurant on nearby Lewis Grove. Lewisham is indeed a very diverse area.

This quiet side street is only a short walk away from the bustle of Lee High Road.

Dist:0.1km north<br/>This is the main route from Lewisham to Blackheath. You do not need to go far along this road to leave the bustle of Lewisham behind.
