Mill Farm, Whalebone Lane North: 1997

The farm was home to three generations of the Drake family which managed a windmill that was close by. This was demolished in the early 1920s. In 1997, the site was being used as a car/van holding area.

Marks Gate windmill in 1920

The original image resides in an album that was my paternal grandfather's: George W Baker and therefore he might have photographed the mill in its last days. The discussion I added to Link states that the structure of the mill was considered unsafe soon after 1921 when all but the brick base was demolished.

Entrance to Brett La Farge Ltd

From Hainault Road. In the distance, behind the lorry speeding down the road, a conveyor spans the road to carry aggregates from Fairlop Quarry.

Richard Scott Motors, Whalebone Lane North

The view looked very much as it had 16 years ago TQ4890 : Mill Farm, Whalebone Lane North: 1997 but its significance for me is that it is where my paternal great-grandmother once lived, in the house behind the cars.

Valance House Becontree

This is Valance House Becontree. It is the last survivor of Dagenham’s five manor houses. It was preserved as the estate management offices during the construction of the huge Becontree Council Housing Estate before WW2. Valance House was named after Agnes De Valance who lived and was murdered on the site in the 13th Century. Some say her ghost still haunts the grounds. Parts of the current house date from the 15th Century although from its outward appearance one would be hard pushed to guess which. In 1938 one room of the building was opened as a museum, a function the whole building fulfils today. The picture was taken looking across the moat towards the house.

Crown Cottages

This Victorian terrace built in 1869 is Crown Cottages on the A118 London Road. They stand on the edge of Crown Farm a scrap of agricultural land between Romford and Chadwell Heath.

DuPont Performance Coatings

This is DuPont Performance Coatings (that’s paint to you and me). This facility in Freshwater Rd specialises in vehicle paint. The site has a vehicle refinishers training unit. However much of the site is the base for UK administration such as sales, marketing, customer service etc

Dairy Crest Chadwell Heath

Not exactly the picture that comes to mind when you say the word “dairy” but that is what this factory is, it produces “liquid milk products”.

A gravel conveyor to the north of Painters Road. The conveyor continues under the road which is behind the photographer.

Red House Farm

Red House Farm, Billet Road, Redbridge. It is not every farm that has its own London Transport Bus Stop!

Old and New

This barn at Warren Farm off Whalebone Lane North has its own (rather overgrown) moat, it has been around for more than a week or two! Highview House in the background is somewhat younger
