Opened in 1863 by the Eastern Counties Railway on the line from Canning Town to North Woolwich, this station closed in 2006. View east towards North Woolwich. The station was originally two platforms with the main building on the right. By the 1990s it had shrunk to one platform and a small building between the track and Connaught Road, to the left. Redevelopment of the site for Crossrail was underway when this image was taken.
