Mudchute is a Docklands Light Railway station on the Isle of Dogs. The name of the area refers to the engineering overspill when Millwall Dock was created.

Mudchute station was originally intended to be called Millwall Park. Local people were concerned that visiting Millwall FC fans would travel to the station in error - not realising that the club’s ground is on the other side of the river. Consequently, the name Mudchute was suggested and agreed. Spoil from the excavation of Millwall Dock had been dumped on nearby land, creating "The Mudchute" in the 1840s. This established itself as a wildlife habitat.

The original station was on the route of the disused Millwall Extension Railway. The original (elevated) station opened on 31 August 1987. When the line was extended south under the River Thames to Lewisham, the station was rebuilt close to the tunnel entrance and opened on 20 November 1999.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
