Trams came
to New Cross in 1870 and
the lines were electrified
in 1904. |

The
junction of New Cross Road
(to the right) and Queens
Road (to the left) was and
still is a busy junction.
The eastern
section of New Cross Road
carries traffic from both
the Dover and Folkstone
Road (to the east) and
the Old Kent Road (to the
City) and Queens Road (to
the West End) to the west.
It takes
its name from the gate
on the turnpike road, which
remained until turnpikes
were abolished in the1860s.
In the background is the
White Hart Inn of 1898
and substantial houses
of c.1880 on Queens Road. |
