branch going to Spitalfields could have anything to do with Cambridge
Heath.

If you look on Google Maps just south of Selby Street (north of
Whitechapel station) there's a bit where the cutting widens to the
east, which was the junction for Spitalfields goods yard. If you
scroll up a bit you can see a chunky curve of disused viaduct that led
the GER depot.

The definition of "Spitalfields" must have been wider in the past,
though Spitalfields City Farm is not far from the goods yard site.
