Homerton
This is all that remains of the entrance to the original Homerton station, opened by the North London Railway in 1868 and closed with the eastern section of the NLR from Dalston Junction to Poplar in May 1944 after heavy war damage. Passenger services along this section of the line in Hackney in east London resumed in 1979 with new stations opening in 1980 at Hackney Central, more or less on the site of the NLR's Hackney station that had also closed in 1944 and Hackney Wick, just east of the site of Victoria Park station that had closed a year earlier in 1943. A new station at Homerton, with an entrance on the south side of the line (left of this view) and on the site of the 1868 station and now part of London Overground, opened in 1985 (see my photo image no. 71749). This view was taken on 28th January 2017.
