[edit] History
Opened on 9 July 1894 as part of the Tottenham & Forest Gate Railway and was originally just called "Leyton".[3][4] On 17 August 1915, three explosive bombs from the German Zeppelin L.10 landed on or near the station, destroying the ticket office, a billiard hall in the arches under the platform and damaging several houses nearby. Four people were killed.[5] The station was renamed Leyton Midland Road on 1 May 1949.[3]
