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. A connection to the LTSR makes even less
sense. Thanks for any clues.


Perhaps I'm missing the obvious but what suggests it was a rail depot?

Are there any demolished "Goods And Coal Depot"s which were not rail
connected?
