The former Eastern Counties Railway viaduct of 1840 that led into and out of the line's original terminus, opened in 1840 as Shoreditch and renamed Bishopsgate the following year, seen here looking east from the new London Overground Shoreditch High Street station on 13th November 2012. The station became a goods station in 1876 after the extension to Liverpool Street was fully opened by the GER and which dived down beneath the original terminus and on which two low level platforms were opened. These closed as a First World War economy in 1915 and never reopened although one platform is still well maintained for use as an emergency exit. The original terminus which became Bishopsgate High Level survived as a goods station until severely damaged by fire in December 1964 and in which two railway workers tragically lost their lives.

The former Eastern Counties Railway viaduct of 1840 that led into the original terminus opened as Shoreditch in 1840 and renamed the following year and which became a goods station from 1876 onwards after Liverpool Street station was fully completed, having partly opened the previous year. The viaduct fell into disuse after a disastrous fire, in which two railway workers sadly lost their lives and which rendered the goods station no longer viable, in December 1964. This view from outside the new London Overground Shoreditch High Street station, opened in April 2010 (out of view on right) is on 13th November 2012. See image [[71224]]
