Photographic comparisons of old and modern views of Lambeth

Herne Hill railway station, Herne Hill, London SE24 1921

c. 1921 Herne Hill station was built by the London, Chatham and Dover Railway in 1862 and provided connections to both the West End and the City. The white-faced building (nearest to the camera on the left) is the Cinema Grand, opened just before the First World War.
