The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Chestnut Avenue, Edgware, HA8 7RA is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. 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 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. Stanley James was an 1890s hippie in the Canadian West - cowboy, shepherd, navvy, hobo and newspaper reporter, soldier in the Spanish-American war, poet and actor. On his return to England, he married and became a Nonconformist minister, who charmed and alienated his congregation with his socialism, pacifism and support for women’s emancipation. 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.

Bullivant was the daughter of middle class conservatives from Norfolk and was employed as the secretary to the sales manager at Yardley, the cosmetics company, the core of whose iconic headquarters survives on the approach to Bow Bridge, in Stratford.

In Built on a Lie, the Financial Times reporter who broke and followed the story, Owen Walker reveals the disastrous failings of Woodford, the greed at the heart of his operation, the flaws of an industry in thrall to its star performers and the dangers of limited regulation. With exclusive access to Woodford’s inner circle, the author reveals the full, jaw-dropping story of Europe’s biggest investment scandal in a decade.This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building. 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. Chestnut Avenue achieved a less welcome footnote to history between the two World Wars. It was the home of Millicent "Scat" Bullivant, a leading light in East London fascism.

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. 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. This is an example of blatant marketing by the railway company, since it is nowhere near Wanstead Park proper.There were a number of these kind of societies in East London at the time, they were often known as Four Per Cent Societies. They were privately funded by non- exploitative investors/landlords, who wanted to build decent housing for working people, and in exchange were guaranteed a four per cent return on their capital - paid for from the rents. They add greatly to an understanding of social circumstances of the time, and describe some pretty poor public health and social conditions.

These amazing documents show in intriguing and often explicit detail that, as a husband and father of seven, he had an affair and liaisons with members of his congregation. Just how much did his family and friends know? In 1923 he converted and reinvented himself as one of the most celebrated Catholic writers in the English-speaking world, with nine books to his name. Widely respected for his knowledge, passion and insight, he worked alongside Bertrand Russell and counted G.K. Chesterton among his friends.
