At the site of the old Transport Depot in Greengate Street, there is a memorial to the members of the West Ham Tram Department killed in the Great War (World War One).
A service was held regually at the Memeorial up to the start of World War two. It was then revived after the war when in 1946, a service was held by the Vicar of Plasitow. A march-past by Ex-servicemen and the Home Guard and a band conducted by Mr W Challis led the Hymn singing. (thanks to an item by the London Transport Old Comrades Association).
The memeorial reads to the Heroic dead and there are 54 names on it, including one Holder of the Militery Medal (MM).
