Construction on the Stratford Market Depot was carried out by Laing London, with work starting on the 35 acre site in November 1993. The train depot, designed by Wilkinson Eyre architects, was built as part of the Jubilee Line Extension running from Green Park to Stratford and was where trains would be maintained and serviced. The first track for the Jubilee Line Extension project was laid at the depot enabling construction materials and equipment to be distributed along the entire length of the line. The tower blocks, shown in the photograph, to the west of the site, are Albert Bigg Point and Aubrey Moore Point.
This image was catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20.
