The Premier Cinema, East Ham (1936) The cinema was renamed the Gaumont in 1952 and closed as a cinema in 1963. It reopened as a Top Rank Club for bingo, later renamed Mecca, which closed in 2005. In spite of being a fine example of an early cinema, it was never designated listed status and was demolished in 2009.

The engineer was George Parker Bidder and Samuel Morton Peto was the contractor. Other stations were built at Upton Park (1877) and West Ham (Manor Road) in 1901. This view looks towards Barking. Originally, there had been a level crossing carrying the High Street across the two tracks. Sibley Grove (formerly Jews Farm Lane) would be to the left and what was to became Burges, Southend and Stevenage Roads are yet to be built on the south side. Originally, there had been a level crossing at the Upton Park end of the platforms, where the tracks crossed White Post Lane. As East Ham developed and traffic increased, a road bridge was built. The Lane was renamed High Street North. TUM image id: 1660579198 Licence:	London City Airport runway from the east Credit: Wiki Commons/Frans Zwart TUM image id: 1669978846 Licence:

Beckton was named after the president of the company, Simon Adams Beck - it was the largest gas plant in the world when it opened in 1870. Beckton is thus one of the many areas of London named after 19th century factory owners or property developers - Cubitt Town, Camden Town and Somers Town being others.
