Wanstead Park Station -2

Street-level photo taken from Woodgrange Road in May 1967, before the station was rationalized and the booking hall replaced. The wooden structures were painted BR green and cream. It is now an unstaffed station, with a set of steel stairs to platform level. None of the original structures exist.

High St South 56-58

Crescent Garage (Shell) High Street South, East Ham had a swing arm petrol pump to fill up at the roadside. This was directly next to the houses. I doubt if this would be allowed today because of health and safety concerns. Photo November 1966.
