Foot crossing over the railway
The line through here was opened on 20th June 1839 by the Eastern Counties Railway, as 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 and in 1899 out to Seven Kings. In 1902 the quadruple track was extended from Seven Kings through Chadwell Heath to Romford.
This footbridge is on a path from Selinas Lane to Heath Road. The next station to the left is Chadwell Heath and to the right is Romford.

Dairy Crest Chadwell Heath
Not exactly the picture that comes to mind when you say the word “dairy” but that is what this factory is, it produces “liquid milk products”.

This is the view from a footbridge on a path from Selinas Lane to Heath Road. The next station in this direction is Romford. The original lines, now the slow lines, are to the left while the fast lines dating from 1902 are to the right.

Chadwell Heath: St Chad's Church
Tucked away in St Chad's Road, off the main road in Chadwell Heath, the church was built between 1884 and 1886 to serve the growing community. The clock tower was added in 1898 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria the year previously. The Church has an excellent website here http://www.saintchadschadwellheath.org.uk/welcome.htm which includes the facility to download a podcast of the sermons given in the Church.

Chadwell Heath Health Centre
The Health Centre was built for Barking and Dagenham Primary Care Trust between 2005 and 2006. Austere functionality appears to have driven the design on the outside at least.
