Limehouse was a station on London's second-oldest railway, the London and Blackwall of 1840, although that station was situated almost half a mile further east, whereas the station near the above point was then called Stepney. The tracks shown in this photograph did not open until 1849 and eventually became part of the London, Tilbury and Southend railway. In this photograph, a 'c2c' train has just departed towards Fenchurch Street. Further to the left is the original London & Blackwall route, now occupied by the Docklands Light Railway.
