Description and History

The 878 arch brick viaduct is world's longest brick structure and carried whole of LGR from London Bridge to Deptford. The dog leg ramp which is listed Grade II, was built on a series of brick arches to allow carriages to get to platform level at Deptford Station on the south side. This is the earliest and sole remaining survival of such a ramp. The other two were at Greenwich and London Bridge. The station was designed by Colonel Landmann and opened to traffic on 8 Feb 1836.
