Crossrail under construction at Silvertown
This view is from the footbridge at the former Silvertown station and looks towards the tunnel under the cut between the Victoria Dock and the Royal Albert Dock. The tunnel, which was disused after the North London Line between Stratford and North Woolwich was closed on 9th December 2006, has now been refurbished and will take Crossrail trains between Woolwich and Custom House stations. The church on the left is St Mark's, Silvertown - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4799508
Silvertown station was opened by the Great Eastern Railway on 19th June 1863. When the Royal Albert Dock was built in 1880, the railway was diverted through a tunnel under the cut between the Victoria Dock and the Royal Albert Dock. Silvertown station was rebuilt in 1885 and 1979, but the station which was then on the North London Line, was closed with the rest of the line between Stratford and North Woolwich on 9th December 2006. The station was demolished in 2012. For a much fuller history and a chronological series of photographs of the station of and from this same footbridge see http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/s/silvertown/
