Devonshire Street was a short-lived railway station in the parish of Mile End Old Town, in the East End of London. It was opened on 20 June 1839[1] as a temporary London terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway (ECR) from Template:Rws prior to the construction of Shoreditch station which became the permanent terminus.[2]

On opening the weekday service consisted of seven weekday and six Sunday trains. An additional train serving Romford Market ran on Wednesdays.[3]

After Shoreditch opened, Devonshire Street continued in use as a through passenger station for a year before it was closed in 1840.[4][5]

In 1884 a new station called Template:Rws opened close to the site of the closed Devonshire Street station.

The street after which the station was named was later incorporated into the northern part of Bancroft Road, running east–west next to the tracks. The station was situated on an embankment adjacent to the Devonshire Street skew bridge.[6]
