The shape of this street is entirely dictated by the railway, long since gone, however the units under the arches are taken with small businesses. This was a goods railway leading north for about 400 yards from the main Fenchurch Street to Southend line, terminating at a very large goods depot bordered by Commercial Road, Gower's Walk and Leman Street.
