Taken from the east end of West Silvertown Docklands Light Railway station. The A1020, North Woolwich Road can be seen to the left, for an image of this road from ground level see Image The Docklands Light Railway runs closely to the line of the former 'Silvertown Tramway' although the latter was at ground level. The Tramway provided connections to/from the numerous industrial companies that lined the riverside with the national rail network via Stratford. The North Woolwich branch of the Eastern Counties, later the Great Eastern railway arrived a few years later and the Tramway became part of that line. It ceased to be used in the 1980s and has been removed.
