East Ham: The Greenway and the Northern Outfall Sewer The Greenway has been created as a linear footpath and cycleway along the top of the embankment of the Northern Outfall Sewer. The sewer was built between 1860 and 1865 under the direction of Joseph Bazalgette for the Metropolitan Commissioners for Sewers at a cost of £164,000, and was designed to remove sewage from North London to Beckton. By the 1850s the River Thames in central London was effectively an open sewer since sewage drained directly into it. The 'Great Stink' of 1855 caused Parliament and the Law Courts to seriously consider moving away from the river. The Metropolitan Board of Works was set up in 1855, with the construction of a sewage system as its primary task.

East Ham: Church of St Mary Magdalene, near to Beckton, Newham, Great Britain. There has reputedly been a church on this site since before the Norman Conquest of 1066 although the present church is thought to date from no earlier than the first half of the 12th century. The tower probably dates from the early 13th century, but has been much restored. The church suffered from bomb damage in 1941, including the loss of all of its stained glass windows. The churchyard covers an area of about 9.5 acres but has recently been closed for burials. Since 1977 most of the churchyard has been left as a nature reserve, managed by the London Borough of Newham as East Ham Nature Reserve, although this area around the church is maintained for worshippers and weddings. The flag of St George is fluttering from the flagstaff on the tower.
