    ‘Charlton Junction’

    The things that you can learn from museums eh...
  • Charlton Junction...never seen that before.....Junction to what? I can only think of where the line splits at Blackheath...for the Welling line and Woolwich line.

  • Charlton Station was known as Charlton Junction until 1956. It's because it is a junction, between the Greenwich line and the Blackheath tunnel line, and possibly also including the freight line to Angerstein wharf. The station buildings were destroyed by enemy action (V2?) in 1944 and replaced by "temporary" accommodation until 1956 - when the station was finally rebuilt in 1956 the "Junction" was dropped.

    Surely the cry of ‘up the Junction’ would have been far more apt than ‘up the addicks’...

  • Railway tracks and football - it's all about points
  • One of our hard working trustees, Paul Baker, has been scanning the huge collection of Sam Bartram photos and documents donated to the museum by the legendary keeper's daughter Moira.

    This was Sam's own collection of memorabilia that we are very proud to hold them.

    was the chronicle a broadsheet that he's got folded over or is he posing with an upside down newspaper?

    The first line through Charlton came from Woolwich and was extended to Blackheath in 1849. I think Charlton Junction was used after the Greenwich line was extended via the Maze Hill tunnel to Charlton in 1878. I know, I know...
