This is the track bed of Hall Farm Curve. (highlighted). Lea Bridge Station is about half a mile to the left, and St. James' Street about three quarters of a mile to the right. It is along this trackbed that the first passenger train ran into Walthamstow on 26th April 1870. It is hoped that this curve will be re-instated along with Lea Bridge Station, so that a sevice can be introduced from Chingford to Stratford via Lea Bridge ready for when Stratford links to the Channel Tunnel and the 2012 Olymic Games. |
