EPW056641 ENGLAND (1938). The Tottenham Wharf and Storage Co Ltd premises on Ferry Lane, Tottenham Hale, 1938

Signalbox

Steam locomotive - a tank engine running 'light engine'

This was the old Harris Lebus club house before Sir Herman commissioned a new one on the land near the station (still on the North side of Ferry Lane).

This land is no longer flat, allegedly as a result of left rubble from the Victoria Line construction in the 1960s.

Here is the Gospel Oak & Barking railway, originally opened as the Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway in 1894. The two bridges hereabouts have had speed restrictions imposed on them now for years.

This bridge has been the 'proposed' site for reconstruction (for strengthening etc) by Waltham Forest Council since, at least 1999. The kerbsides are guarded by some of the dirtiest red/white hazard barriers in London, and some of the bridge finials are missing now, although the commemoration plaque is thankfully still in situ. I wonder if this is a hark back to the argument about the tramways 'gap' between Walthamstow & Tottenham 'who' should fund the refurbishment of the bridge?

This is Ferry Lane Bridge and marks the former boundary point at which the Walthamstow Electric Tramways terminated from 1903-1936(trolleys extended further eastwards). There could never be any agreement betwixt Walthamstow & Tottenham councils 'who' should foot the bill to join the two sections of tramways from this bridge to the Tottenham system. So for decades passengers had to walk it!

Wow, a trolleybus heading eastbound from Walthamstow which could only have been a 623 (to Manor House) or 625 (Wood Green)

Another manufacturing site 'lost' to a housing estate in the late 1990s.
