For clarity, how is "Cedd" said? Sed, Ked, Ched, or some other variant? Elsewhere it says his brother was Chad.

To update your 2011 post about North Ockendon and Far East London the Harrow PH and restaurant are long gone. In their place is the Glass House Retreat, an exclusive Spa Hotel who only serves wellbeing and 'plant based food'. It is, in local fashion, gated and fenced but if that is to keep the hoi-poloi out or the guests in I could not say.

Really interesting post. That footpath bridge and path over the new road is a major construction by itself

What a lovely little place.

Approximately the same patch of North Ockendon was also a proposed interchange between the M13 (Maplin Airport access) and outer London Ringway M16

I find these London anomolies fascinating. I'm also intrigued by how many different boundaries 'London' has, eg. administrative London; postal London; 020 phone number London; TfL London travel area, etc. None of these boundaries coincides, and a blog on these, or a map showing the different sets of boundaries, would be of much interest.

I sometimes wonder why we don't just convert the entire country into a road, and have done with it!

I thought the Government wanted to reduce car usage but evidently this isn't the case with this new tunnel being built especially as it won't include a railway line linking Kent with East Anglia. Who wants a direct rail route between the Medway Towns and Norwich (for example) anyway?

Shame it is immediately next to South Ockendon
|
|
Having walked between the two, I can confirm it is very much not "immediately next to".

The photo of St Marys could almost be our own parish church here in Harefield ( 1 mile inside the M25 ). Why not come and visit us someday and enjoy what is left of our beautiful village before the HS2 bulldozers finish us off completely.

Not sure about wider usage, but in the name of the park named after Cedd in Chadwell Heath it's pronounced similarly to "said"
Mind you: South Essex throws up odd pronunciations elsewhere: Raphael Park in Romford like "Raffle", or Valkryrie Road in Westcliff with the stress on the first syllable, so this may or may not be representative of norms elsewhere |
