Opened 05-03-1903 at a cost of £3280 and closed in 1969 with the demise of Surrey Commercial Docks. The unusual feature about the units based at the station was that they were not allowed to cross over the bascule bridges either end of Rotherhithe Street and Redriff Road. This was to ensure that if a fire broke out between the bridges at least some assistance would be guaranteed. After it closed the building was taken over by the Brooks Brothers as a car body repair shop. This did so well that they later became a main Ford agent with new premises in Bermondsey.
