Cannon Street

A station I rarely visit, let alone photograph, this is the modern entrance to Cannon Street on 28th February 2023. It was opened by the South Eastern Railway on 1st September 1866 and stands on a brick viaduct across Upper Thames Street, the country end fronting onto the Thames where the original twin towers and side walls remain 79160. It was badly damaged in WWII but rebuilding did not begin for many years. In 1984 it was cited for closure but remains to this day, mostly a commuter station for services into south-east London and Kent and is an interchange with the LU Circle and District Lines.
