EPW006773 ENGLAND (1921). The Clarnico Works, Hackney Wick, 1921

This line closed in 1983. The Passenger Service running Broad Street to Poplar was closed in 1942. In it's last years freight was worked as a long siding, rather than a fully signalled railway.

Today's Hackney Wick station will be built here, opening in 1980. Operated by London Overground at time of Writing.

Lord Napier Pub.

Hepscott Road also runs to the right across Rothbury Road and still exists.

This railway bridge over Chapman Road carries the Overground Line from Homerton to Stratford and the road has been realigned to join up with Rothbury Road further east.

You can just catch a glimpse here of Berkshire Road LCC school. It still exists.

Felstead Road still exists

Allanmouth Road demolished entirely.

Trego Road still exists.

The Victoria Park branch railway line also disappeared when the new road was constructed, although the operation of the line ceased before WW2.

All these properties along Rothbury Road and to the right those in Wansbeck Road have long disappeared, not least due to the creation of the East Cross Route which links the M11 via Homerton to the Blackwall Tunnel.

Rothbury Road, now the main thoroughfare between Stratford and Hackney Wick.

The western end of Wallis Road begins here.

Wallis Road runs to a dead-end here with Clarnico's factory works on either side.

At this point White Post Lane ends at the junction of Wallis Road.

White Post Lane bends to the left here, then left again to resume a straight line westwards.

White Post Lane begins at this bridge and runs (left) westwards but NOT in a straight line. See other pin markers.

This is Cadogan Terrace at the point where now there is a pedestrian/cycle bridge over the M11 approach road through to the Lea Interchange. Most of the properties to the immediate right - including the railway line which branched off further west and created the Victoria Park Station(gone before WW2?) disappeared in the 1980s. Those still existing will have a pin.
