Our Local Studies Library has two unique photographs of Indian troops at Romford Station in June 1902. They were in England for the Coronation of Edward VII and arrived in Romford on 20th June at 12.30 pm by special train from Hampton Court where they were camped. They visited the Essex Agricultural Show held at Marshalls Park.
