Former North Woolwich station

A grade II listed building, stated to be 1847 in the listing but 1854 in the modern lettering, hardly visible in this view, at the top of the central brickwork. At the very top is 'Great Eastern Railway Museum' which it was for a period after railway closure, until defeated by criminality. It seems that the listed building date of 1847 is in error. The railway and a wooden station here certainly opened in 1847, but this more robust building is an 1854 replacement on a slightly different site.
