In the 1930s the District Line was electrified and extended to Upminster with new stations at Elm Park and Upminster Bridge. Also at this time new industries near the area such as the Ford Motor Company plant at Dagenham caused a new wave of mostly working class developments along the route of the new Underground line. In addition to this, to the north of the borough, the large housing estates of Harold Hill and Collier Row were constructed to deal with the chronic housing shortages and early slum clearance programmes in central London.
The station was opened by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway in 1885 and was expanded and modernised in 1935. The station has four platforms. Two are used by the District Line and another two are disused after service from LT&SR was withdrawn in 1962 when the line through the station was electrified. The current station buildings were opened in 1932 when the electrified District Line was extended to Upminster. The platforms are located beneath street level and the station buildings are of typical 1930s design with very little trace of the Victorian origins of the station remaining. After nationalisation of the railways in 1948 management of the station passed to British Railways and in 1969 ownership transferred to the London Underground.[2]
