This wooden hut survived until the 1980s. By then it was becoming a little dilapidated and appeared to be unused. It was a smaller version of the original Met Railway booking office on the other side of the road. Its original purpose is a little unclear. It may have once been a coal merchant's office.
An entry on the London Transport Museum website describes it as a booking office. I believe this to be incorrect. The low level of passenger traffic in an area largely undeveloped at this time, barely justified the existence of one booking office, let alone two.
Furthermore, there was no access to the railway platforms on this side of the bridge. '
