Dist:0.4km<br/>Although mapped simply as a substation, this is clearly a rather special one. All very high voltage, gently sizzling in the sun (not that the sun has anything to do with it).

Dist:0.6km<br/>The bus stop sees two buses a day, weekdays only, timed for workers. The rest of the day and at weekends the 387 route is cut back to terminate in a residential area.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is a derelict ancillary building to the old Barking Power Station, long since demolished. The area is still owned by N-Power and this is their "Open Air Storage Depot" or so the sign nearby declares. Tied to the railings is a planning application for the old power station site. Included are 10800 homes, 65,000 sq metres of retail space, and all the infrastructure (schools, medical, facilities etc etc) to service them, in fact a new town in the Thames Gateway. Also included in the application are provision for a City Farm and an ecology centre.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The "resource, marketing and information suite" for a new housing development on a brownfield site - actually somewhat dirtier than brown before cleaning up. So far, the only developments visible are considerable earthworks and this strange assembly.
