Hackney Central
View looking east from Hackney Central station, opened in 1980 and part of London Overground since 2007, with on the left the main entrance building to the original Hackney station, on 11th December 2010. This opened in 1850 and closed after devastating war damage in this part of east London in 1944, which led to the end of the Broad Street to Poplar service although the line stayed open for freight. On the right are remains of the platform (with wall) that was used by trains from Poplar to Dalston Junction and Broad Street. The 1980 platforms are set back slightly further west from the eastern ends of the original 1850 station's platforms and accessed from a new entrance on the eastbound side, behind where I was standing to take this photo.
