Viewed from Ellwood Road. In the foreground, there is a concrete base on the grass containing what looks like a metal support for a (railway) rail, to secure it to a sleeper. Its significance, if any, is unclear. Old maps show that Milkwall railway station was formerly located about 300 metres north of this point. Passenger services at the station ceased in 1929.
