Noel Park and Wood Green
Westbury Avenue bridge between the former stations of West Green and Noel Park on the old Palace Gates branch in north London, closed to passengers in 1963 and to freight in 1964, looking towards Palace Gates on 28th January 2012 and one of the few memorials to this long lost line. The road and path below the bridge, which now gives access to a housing estate called The Sandlings and which occupies the site of the line near Noel Park, has been raised slightly from the level of the original track. The vast and ugly Wood Green shopping city, indistinguishable from all the other ghastly shopping cities up and down the UK, now stands where Noel Park station, full name Noel Park & Wood Green, once stood, making it impossible to believe there was once a railway and station there.
