Product Information

Robert Nurden was born seven months before his grandfather died. He was determined to find out what drove this complex and contradictory man, trapped Between Heaven and Earth. This story, set within a wider narrative of the campaign to preserve the London commons, is told in Mark Gorman’s new book Saving the People’s Forest: Open spaces, enclosure and popular protest in mid-Victorian London. The focus here is not on the metropolitan upper middle-class campaigners, but instead on the grass roots movement whose popular protests would steer the campaign towards its successful conclusion. This campaign and other contests described in the book contributed significantly to the birth of what has become the modern-day “right to roam”.

The press cutting, above, shows that even in the 1890s in Carnarvon Road, just this side of Stratford, there were active market gardens and horticultural producers. This is the third in an occasional series of articl es by local historian, Peter Williams, who specialises in Newham housing, maps and local history. In each he looks, in detail, at the history of particular streets in Forest Gate. The Great Eastern arrived at Forest Gate in 1839. The army of clerks in the City of London needed housing and new suburbs sprang up to meet the demand as shown on the next map.

Their ultimate fate isn't known, but they recruited the local organiser, Arthur Beavan to the role of local organiser. He was a thug, who was detained, without trail, in 1940, following the outbreak of war with Germany.The 1863 Ordnance Survey map published 1873 (see below) shows the narrow and wide Chestnut Avenue, more or less on the current alignment, but with no housing development. is the estimated property value as of today.

The map below also marks the arrival of the Tottenham and Forest Gate Junction Railway (now the Barking-Gospel Oak) with Wanstead Park station opened 1894.

She was a long-standing doctrinal fascist, having joined the Fascisti, a forerunner to Mosley'e British Union of Fascists (BUF) in the 1920's. She, and her brother, Richard Alveston Bullivant, were active early organisers of the fascists in Forest Gate and established its bookshop/headquarters, just around the corner from their house, at 18 Woodford Road. You can also see Angell Pond at the junction of Capel and Woodford Roads, developed by West Ham council engineer Lewis Angell to assist drainage on the Flats, which were very boggy. A bandstand soon appeared too demolished in the 1950s.
