Harold Wood is a suburban neighbourhood of Romford, situated 27km east-northeast of Charing Cross.

The name Harold Wood was recorded in about 1237, named after King Harold Godwinson, who was defeated by William the Conqueror in 1066. King Harold held the surrounding manor of Havering-atte-Bower. Some of the roads of the Harold Woold estate are named after Anglo-Saxon kings such as Æthelstan and Alfred the Great.

Harold Wood station was opened on 1 December 1868 by the Great Eastern Railway on its main line to the east of England. It is now on the Elizabeth Line.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
