The houses beyond still exist but have been converted to shops. Most have a new frontage to accommodate the change in road level. Pictures B5, B6 and B7 by unknown photographers probably date from before the rebuilding or from soon after it has commenced. They show the station building at the new road level.
In B5, the Spotted Dog is visible in the background at extreme left with a top floor that exists today. Pictures B8 and B9 show the station as it is today. B8 is above the tracks that once approached the level crossing which would have been directly below the bridge in the background.
The track on the left is the westbound district line, platform six and that on the right the down Tilbury line, platform seven. The road bridge has five double track width spans available for railway use and at least one more now blocked. The back of the Spotted Dog is visible in B9. Picture B10 by an unknown photographer shows a District train emerging from the dive under built circa and about to enter platform six.
This is the site of the former level crossing. Picture B11 was taken on 4 August It shows class [14] standing in platform seven about to depart for Gospel Oak. The former level crossing was below the bridge and to the left of the train. These services normally use platform one but can use platforms seven and eight if necessary.
When the extension to Barking Riverside opens, they will all use these platforms. Picture B12 was taken from roughly where the signal box mentioned earlier stood although probably from above its roof level. The Peto Arms would have been to the right.
It shows the site of the now simplified Barking East Junction with the Tilbury lines on the right and those to Upminster curving away to the left. Before the rebuilding, the District tracks used platforms four and five in the middle of the station with the line from St Pancras to their east and the line from Fenchurch Street on the west. There was a complex flat junction on this side of the station and plenty of scope for conflicting movements. Picture B13 courtesy of the London Evening Standard shows the station frontage today with the Spotted Dog on the right in the background.
Picture B14 by an unknown photographer shows the Curfew Tower. The Abbey remains are out of sight to the right. The meaning has always been left vague. Name required.

The plan is to clear away a lot of the clutter, and re-create the original intent of the design for a clear open ticket hall space. The smaller owners will lose out though, as the cluster of small shops will be replaced with two large retailers.
The existing concrete will be cleaned and refurbished. The concrete will be uplit with floor mounted spotlights to show off the original structure. Note that there can be multiple Railcards selected, and a number value Number of Passengers with Selected Railcard must be sent for each one selected.
The way it works is all selected "Railcards" are sent as a comma-delimited list in the rc field, and all the "Number of Passengers with Selected Railcard" are sent as a comma-delimited list in the rcc field which matches the order of the Railcards in the rc field.
Barking goes back to the future Thanks to the Railway Heritage Trust, this April we are beginning work to restore the front of Barking station to its former s glory. This is part of a larger scheme to create a new ticket hall fit for the 21st century as per the visualisation below : H.
