Corbetts Passage, Rotherhithe, London, SE16
Off Rotherhithe New Road, opposite Raymouth Road and runs into Silwood Street. Many will know it's named after the Canadian murderer, William Corbett, who was hanged on 04-04-1764 for two murders in Cherry Garden Street, Bermondsey, SE1. His body was hung on a gibbet in Rotherhithe New Road (then Deptford Road). What may not be known is on the railway lines above, about 1839 the worlds first signal box was erected. Far end of the image can be seen Southwark Park British Rail Station (1902 to 1915).
