This is the River Roding viewed looking upstream at the point at which the former Great Eastern Railway built their viaduct across the river in about 1903 for their Woodford and Ilford Branch. At the grouping of the railway companies in 1923 operations were taken over by the London & North Eastern Railway, but prior to the nationalization of the railways in 1948 responsibilities were transferred to London Underground and today Central Line trains use the viaduct.
