Fenchurch Street Railway Station
Fenchurch Street Railway Station was the first to be constructed inside the City of London
The original station was designed by William Tite and was opened on 20 July 1841 for the London and Blackwall Railway (L&BR), replacing a nearby terminus at Minories that had opened in July 1840.
The station was rebuilt in 1854, following a design by George Berkeley, adding a vaulted roof and the main facade.
The station became the London terminus of the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTS&R) in 1858
From 1850 until the opening of Broad Street station in 1865 it was also the City terminus of the North London Railway.
1926 The London and Blackwall Railway effectively closed in 1926 after the cessation of passenger services east of Stepney, leaving the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway the sole user of the station.
