The Great Eastern Railway's Fairlop Loop line including Newbury Park station opened in 1903. The lines to and from the junction at Seven Kings occupied the central reservation in this view. In 1936 work began on a tunnel that would bring the line from Newbury Park northwards into the Central Line of London Underground. Construction was halted by WW2 but it was completed in 1947 and electric underground trains replaced the steam service. The link to the main line at Seven Kings closed in 1956.
