Surviving abutments that supported the bridge carrying the former Seven Sisters to Palace Gates (Wood Green) branch in north London over Park Avenue, just to the south of the site of Palace Gates (Wood Green) station, looking south-west on 13th November 2012. The line opened in 1878 and was closed to passengers in 1963 and to freight in 1964. This old bridge is one of the few surviving memorials to the line. However, if Crossrail 2 should ever get built - and don't hold your breath - the proposed New Southgate branch will virtually follow exactly the route of the old Palace Gates line but presumably below ground.
