Built in 1925, the Lea Valley Viaduct at Chingford was one of the first projects undertaken by Williams and Maxwell Ayrton after they collaborated on the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley.

The two huge stone pylons marked the entrance to the viaduct on the North Circular from Chingford to Edmonton.
