These shops are located on the railway bridge, and the entrance to Dagenham Heathway station (a stop on the Underground's District Line) is immediately opposite. This stretch of road is effectively Dagenham's town centre, developed in the 1930s to serve the new housing estates surrounding it; of course the businesses here now - a minicab firm, a mobile phone repairer, a gaming centre and an estate agent - are very different from those that would have been here originally.
