St James Street
St. James Street station, Walthamstow, east London, looking towards Chingford, on the afternoon of Saturday, 7th September 2019. This station was opened by the GER on 26th April 1870 and became part of London Overground on 31st May 2015. All the original Victorian buildings with their wooden canopies were replaced by the present less attractive shelters in the early 1970s, once again under the then BR Eastern Region regime's idea of 'improvements'. Wood Street station, two stops down the line towards Chingford, was similarly bludgeoned. Bruce Grove and Edmonton Green stations on the Enfield Town line managed to escape unscathed and today provide a good guide to how St. James Street and Wood Street stations used to look.
