Barking Station
The station was opened on the Tilbury line in 1854.
The booking hall was built 1959-1961 to the design of John Ward of British Railways Eastern Region.
According to Pevsner it was "Erected to coincide with electrification of the railway, it is commensurately modern in outlook and unquestionably one of the best English stations of this date."
