| Notes / History | Widening of Carshalton Road, Mitcham is going ahead. Work is shown here in progress at the bridge on the approach to Mitcham Junction Station.(Mitcham News & Mercury. 21-2-1958 Page 9.) Work on Mitcham Junction Bridge, started before the war and then postponed, has now been restarted. The cost of the work will be about £53,000 - more than double the original estimate. The road is being doubled from 22ft. to 44ft., and two 8ft. wide pavements are now being built. (Mitcham & Tooting Advertiser. 2-1-1958 Page 1.) The building on the right is a cafe. Mitcham Junction Station was opened with the Peckham Rye to Sutton line on 1st October 1868. |
