Good to see I’m not the only one that doe’s it, as strictly speaking this is New Cross Road, Old Kent Road ends the other side of the Bridge. "Not a lot of people know that"

Hi Ray,
Technically, you are still looking at the Old Kent Road!
The TV shop that I worked in is at the far right of your picture, we were at 907 Old Kent Road.
The OKR ends and New Cross starts at the junction of White Post Street.
One point of interest for me between the two photos, I never knew the shop two doors down had an extra storey added!
EDIT - Sorry, just read one of the previous posts regarding the discrepency...
Yes, it was a little confusing! You would naturally think that the border is the railway bridge!
The amount of bemused people we used to get wandering into the shop asking for help with directions
We even had the odd customer questioning the address on our invoices!
Brian.
