Default Whitechapel ELL works

No, this is further east, roughly north of Whitechapel station. A
goods yard branched northeast from the ELL and a corresponding one
branched southwest from the Great Eastern Main Line. These were on top
of each other in some way.

My understanding is the tunneling happened after the goods yard
closed, though I know very little about it.
