The Palace Gates branch was opened in 1878 by the Great Eastern Railway, and closed to passengers in 1963 and goods in 1964. The bridge carries Avenue Road, whose width is reduced over the bridge, so there must be doubt about its strength now. This side of the bridge is a housing estate, the other, some allotments, but generally all the branch is built over now.
