Dagenham 1915 Essex Sheet 87.02 by Tony Clifford

This detailed map covers the village of Dagenham, where development was at an early stage. The LTS railway runs west-east across the map, with Dagenham (later Dagenham East) station, crossed by Romford Road / Bull Street running north-south. Features include St Peter & St Paul's church, Ford's School, Romford UDC sewage farm, Bretons (at the eastern edge of the map). The beginnings of industry is shown by Sterling Telephone Works on the land of Wantz Farm. The map is very interestingg as showing the area just before large-scale development. On the back we include a railway timetable for the LTS line in 1929.
