Opened in 1903 by the Great Eastern Railway on the line from Woodford to Ilford, the station closed in 1908 due to lack of patronage. It was reopened in 1930 by the London & North Eastern Railway and became part of London Transport in 1947 and the line was diverted from Ilford to loop round to Leytonstone and thence towards London. View north west towards Grange Hill and Woodford. The 1930s style island platform to the left is very different to the 1903 canopy on the right. Like 55% of the London Underground network, this part is actually overground.
