Alma Avenue, HORNCHURCH, RM12 6BP

This view looks across Cumberland Close to Cumberland Avenue, not far from Hornchurch Underground station.

This part of the avenue has no houses fronting it - it passes between the sides of properties on Standen Avenue and Dawes Avenue. Perhaps for that reason it does not feature on Google Street View. Beyond the crossroads ahead the road continues as a dead-end, but does have houses, and may be seen on Street View.

This view looks across Matlock Gardens to Cumberland Avenue, not far from Hornchurch Underground station.

A small roundabout at the junction of Central Drive and Goodwood Avenue, near Hornchurch in east London's outer suburbs.

The London, Tilbury & Southend Railway opened its line from Forest Gate via Barking and Dagenham Dock to Tilbury in 1854. In 1858 the company opened a cut off between Bow and Barking. What is now the C2C line was opened in 1885 by the London, Tilbury & Southend Railway between Barking and Upminster, and a station was opened at Dagenham (East) the same year. No further stations opened on the line until Gale Street Halt (now Becontree) in 1926, followed by Hornchurch, Heathway (later renamed Dagenham Heathway from 1st May 1949) and Upney all on 12th September 1932. On the same date as these stations opened in 1932, the District line was extended over new tracks alongside the existing line between Barking and Upminster. The present C2C line therefore dates from 1885 and the present District line from 1932. This view is from Station Lane on the other side of the bridge from Hornchurch station with the District lines on the left and the two C2C lines on the right, with a train for Fenchurch Street passing. Its next stop will be Barking. Upminster Bridge is the next station in this direction on the District line.
