Architects: (thought to be) Richard Seifert and Partners, 1960/70s. Up to 10 storeys of offices now mainly occupied by the Metropolitan Police. This view from Putney Bridge Road. London Borough of Wandsworth.
These Sutton DOE’s are now in the autumn of their London days.
The second part of todays outing was focussed on my ‘last of batch’ SEN33 (on the 80) and so the 93 was the way to get from Putney to Morden to intercept it.
This is DOE10 leaving the stand at Putney Bridge Station. 25.2.22.
A beatiful Anglo Saxon church near Putney Common, London. I took this shot in the middle of the night on a 1 minute exposure. I couldn't see the church it was so dark. I had to take the shot and recompose. It took about two hours to get right. The other shots in my 'night time' set are shot with the same idea.
No one could call Putney beautiful, but I've lived here a long time and I'm fond of it. I think the grey weather suits London and here's Putney Bridge, misty and moisty and - home.
Another installment of Origami Riots in Putney, London. It's the 5th Ive repainted the shutter of Dover Flowers, they always let me paint my origiami stuff as I please, so I thought this time I would paint someting to do with them too. I spent a a whlile to learn how to fold it for reference so make sure to check out my folding skills too.
Putney Bridge has been remodelled to bring the WB line through the former bay road to increase the speed. It was the first through line from the line's construction. The old platform 3 through line was cantilevered out on an extension from the viaduct.
I had cause to use the Sevenoaks to Tunbridge Wells Rail Replacement service on 3.11.19, and found Putney based EH94 waiting for me.
I should imagine it probably had the workout of its short life as the A21 is a little more demanding than the Fulham Road....
It’s seen passing Tonbridge Station as it heads south to Tunbridge Wells.
Some more Putney WHV rides today, primarily to get my last ‘old style’ WHV35, but then a lot of winners led me onto the 430.
The later Putney WHV’s are now undergoing refurbishment and one such example in the shape of WHV118 is seen on Danebury Avenue in Roehampton, two stops from its terminus.
The Launderette which the bus is passing was used in the first episode of Minder in 1979, ‘Gunfight at the OK Launderette’ in which Terry was held hostage inside! 19.2.25.
I've decided to try and make an effort to clear these for haulage, with an emphasis for now on the 02/52 examples, as with forthcoming contract renewals they probably haven't got a great future. This took me to Putney Common, great place for a pint at the Spencer Arms while waiting for the next winner. WVL38, seen here arriving wasn't one such bus, but WVL53 behind it was! 6/5/16.
'D' Stock 7517 arrives on Platform 1 at Putney Bridge. The former platform 2 track has been lifted and will become the new Westbound through road to Wimbledon.
Some pictures from June/July 2005. Now seems a long time ago!
The well known terminus at Putney Heath, Green Man, was ironically never originally associated with the 14. Once they used to terminate down the hill at Oxford Road.
Looks insane, doesn't it? I think this was the side of someone's garage, as I walked down a lane in Putney.
Photo showing a sunlit, east aspect of Putney Bridge, which was designed by Joseph Bazalgette. Made of stone and Cornish granite, it opened 1886 for vehicle and pedestrian traffic. To the left is Putney Wharf Tower, the old International Computers Ltd building which was recycled into 67 residential apartments by Patel Taylor in 2004; as part of the refurbishment the front was given a new semi-circular steel-framed extension with glazed curtain walling and wraparound balconies. Viewed from the north bank of the Thames in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham.

DB Class 66/0 No.66149 is seen passing underneath the arches near Putney Station on the 8th of September 2018 in Charge of the 08:15 5Z54 empty coaching stock move from Stewart's lane T&R.S.M.D. - St Phillips Marsh H.S.T.D.
The move which incorporated veteran steam locomotive, merchant navy Class 35028 Clan Line and a single coach, was on it's way to Bristol for the following days rescheduled Torbay Express charter, in which it was standing in for fellow steam locomotive Tornado which is still having ongoing repair issues.
Another trip to London today (30/06/2020) but this time minus any sunshine! Visits to Putney, Victoria, Liverpool Street and Tower Hamlets were made mainly in search of new 20-reg buses.
It wasn’t until thinking about heading home that I noticed my last four Putney EH’s were all on the 430, and all fairly close together, a freak coincidence as they work across four routes (14, 22, 74, 430)
One of them was EH101, seen at the Roehampton Danebury Lane terminus. 6.7.23.
