Where abouts is Plaistow station
http://www.derelictlondon.com/id7.htm

I use it frequently but can't recall seeing that site.
And my OS map of Plaistow in the late 1800s
has the station in the same place as
where it is now, IIRC.

Plaistow station has two District Line tracks (4 rails per track and no
overhead wires) with platforms either side of them. On the south side of all
that there are also two "British Rail" tracks (2 rails per track, and
overhead electric wires) The platform view is clearly of the "British Rail"
lines, so I would guess that it is a derelict platform at the current
station site. About 50% of the District Line stations between Upminster and
Bromley-By-Bow have platforms on the British Rail lines, mostly derelict.
Judging by the camera angle, I would say it was taken from the London-bound
District Line platform through a hole in the wall.

I don't have any thoughts about the other picture, except that I would guess
that this too is somewhere at the current station site.
