Ilford Hill
A 179 bus climbs towards the junction with Cranbrook Road and the bus stops outside Ilford Station. On the right is one of the ubiquitous minicab offices that can usually be found close to railway stations. The building looks like an ex-railway company building.
Behind are offices and flats with BT's Mill House in the background. The bridge in the distance on the left, next to the pylon, carries the A406 North Circular Road across Ilford Hill on route to its eastern terminus around 3Km south of here at the junction with the A13.

Ilford station
Ilford station was opened on 20th June 1839 by the Eastern Counties Railway, along with the Mile End (temporary terminus) to Romford section of what was to become the Great Eastern Main Line. The London terminus was moved in July 1840 to Shoreditch (later renamed Bishopsgate), and at the eastern end the line was extended out to Brentwood in the same year. Colchester was reached by 1843. Liverpool Street opened in stages from February 1874. The line was quadrupled to Ilford in 1895.
On New Year's Day 1915 Ilford station was the scene of a major collision in which 10 people were killed and on 16th January 1944 nine people were killed in another collision.
The station has five platforms, two "up" (headed west toward Liverpool Street) and two "down" (towards Shenfield). The fifth platform is a bay platform, allowing peak services into London to start at Ilford. In this view from the steps down from the footbridge, the bay platform is out of sight on the far left - see also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4866855 The two stopping platforms are on the left with a train bound for Liverpool Street at the up platform, while the two fast lines are to the right beyond the safety railings.
