Looking towards Romford from a footbridge
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 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.

Whalebone Lane South - the pedestrian view
An important local route, that together with roads of other names on the same rather straight alignment formed an ancient northbound highway from a former Thames ferry at Dagenham. This part together with Whalebone Lane North was named after whale bones situated at a toll house - for the story see http://www.lbbd.gov.uk/MuseumsAndHeritage/ValenceHouseMuseum/Pages/WhaleboneGallery.aspx

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”.
