Grangewood St Railway Yard E6
A Memory of East Ham.
I have fond memories of watching the railway wagons in the goods yard from Grangewood st Just behind the off licence in Plashet Grove. There was a crane with a huge magnet on the end that used to load the wagons with sheet metal off cuts. If you stood near the footbridge in Park rd nearby you would see a diesel train come out onto the main railway line, stop and reverse back in again, which always baffled me as a kid. What it was actually doing was reversing the wagons onto another railway line behind. The yard was turned into a playground in the 80's.
