Verbena Close, E16, has a gantry over its entrance which reads "Goods And
Coal Depot". I think the site originally covered the area now occupied by
Verbena Close as well as the area covered by Cranberry Lane and its
sideroads. But I'm baffled about why the site is at right angles to the
North London Line, or how a rail connection to the North London Line would
have crossed Manor Rd

Go to www.old-maps.co.uk and put in the address, and click through to
the 1920 maps along the bottom. It's shown as a spur going from the
North London Line to the south (ie from Canning Town) going under
Manor Road at the junction with Stephenson Street. There are no houses
west of Pretoria Road or north of Hilda Road, and the northern
boundary appears to be Gainsbrorough Road.
