The Deptford wharf branch manual lifting bridge over the Surrey Canal, the lifting mechanism failed in late-1963. A rail-mounted crane was used briefly to raise and lower the bridge so that both rail and barge traffic could continue to pass while the statutory closure procedure was followed for the goods only Deptford Wharf branch. The branch closed in January 1964 and the bridge was temporarily fixed in the raised position until it could be removed and scrapped.
