Beneath this railway bridge, in the early 20th century, Alliot Verdon Roe laboured to build his 'Yellow Terror' tri-plane. In July 1909, he pulled off the first British powered flights, as his 'Avroplane' took to the air above Walthamstow Marshes. A plaque commemorates this achievement and there's an information board too.
