picture taken 1930s. Appliance nearest camera is JD1490, a Dennis Big 6 which appears elsewhere on this site as it is preserved and now under the care of Dr Barry Hutchinson. Plaistow FS has just closed temporarily as part of the London FB PFI- funded redevelopment of several stations, and will be rebuilt on the same site.
