Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Blackfriars Bridge railway station was a railway station on the London, Chatham and Dover Railway. It was constructed in 1864 and, for six months, was the northern terminus for a line from Herne Hill via Loughborough Junction. It was part of a scheme by the company to extend into the City of London. It ceased to be the terminus when the line was extended across the River Thames to Ludgate Hill where a temporary station in New Bridge Street was opened on 21 December 1864. In 1885 with the opening of St Pauls station it was no longer deemed necessary for passenger requirements, and remained open solely as a goods station. It remained in this capacity into the 1960s until 1964, outlasting several other stations on the line such as Camberwell which was closed down in 1916.
