Even though I'm known for taking similar pictures I believe this one isn't mine so I'm going to guess that this is taken from the Canning Town end of Stephenson Street, near (or at) the A13 Junction.
I know that Canning Town Station first opened as Barking Road on 14/06/12 so I'm assuming that the old NLL seen in the photo as the DLR branch was first opened on this date?

Hmmmmm, you're all in the right kinda area, it's not somewhere I know in detail though so I'll leave it to Chris M to decide who gets the points.
No one has yet got the reason however.

I'm going to start by giving Deep Level points for correctly identifying the location I took the photo from (Stephenson Street/A13 junction). This with his comments regarding the bonus clearly indicate that he knows this is between Canning Town and Star Lane despite saying almost everything but those words - main points awarded.
Bassmike is correct about the location but not specifc enough for points. A60 is closer, but this isn't Star Lane (or any other) station, so doesn't get the points.
Deep Level is on the right track (no pun intended) for the bonus, but not close enough. Specifcally the correct year is required and this wasn't the 'North London Line' in that year or when I took the photo (October 2010).

Oh dear, I did mean 14/06/1847 ;D.
Not sure if it's relevant but wasn't Barking Road Station once on the site shown in the photo?

That's the correct year. That this is the site of Barking Road station is not completely irrelevant but it's not important.

Oh hold on, it was known as the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway in that year. I can't be far off the bonus now? ;D
