Has anyone any old images of Birkbeck Station platforms?

In the absence of any images perhaps I should explain why I asked. The reason being that having visited the station a few years ago I got the impression that the platorm and track elevations was not exactly the same as it was in the fifties i.e. then there was a slight slope downwards towards the station. Further, when asking about the children's graves in Chrystal Palace Cemetary I was told they all had to be moved due to the station re-construction, but assured by the authorities there that every grave was still there and clearly marked. I was interested in looking for a child's grave of a relative i.e. Eddie Turner who died at birth around early 1930's; but unfortunately haven't had time yet to return to the cemetary.

Thank you for that link Historian - much appreciated.
Will enter into it and let you know my thoughts.

I did look at the link Historian and eventually found a picture of platforms taken c.1961. Thank you for your interest.
However this was not sufficient and I have come to the conclusion that it will be better for me to actually visit the area again including the cemetary.
Unfortunately I cannot go there for some time; and plus that my cousin Albert Turner has passed away - he informed me about the moving of the children's graves.
Additionally the relocation of the child grave was assured me by the office at the Cemetary - they are obvsiouy still there - so all in all for me another visit willbe required.
Will let you know the results if and when the occurs.
