East Ham - a small country station among green fields (1900) In 1858 the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway opened its line from Bow to Barking with stations at Plaistow Road and at East Ham. 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.

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.
