Lee Station, Lee, c. 1950

Lee Station, Lee, c. 1950  

The opening of Lee Station in 1866 made it possible for employees in Central London to move out to Lee and travel to work by train.

This encouraged develop-ment in the area, partic-ularly after the line to Deptford was electrified in 1926.

Shown here is a Ramsgate Express.
