Old Chadwell Heath

A bit of history for you!!

Check out this picture of an old off licence on Station Road.

Background: there has been an off licence in Station Road, Chadwell Heath, for at least a century, as this early photograph (undated) reveals. Station road is the border between Redbridge and Barking and Dagenham.


The building to the right is Wangey House. It is where Chadwell Heath Station is now.

It was demolished in 1937 to make way for the
station building.





From the 60s. Shows the old Chadwell Heath police station which comes under Redbridge. It is now the 'Eva Hart' pub. Named 'Eva Hart' after the lady who lived in C/Heath (Japan Rd) and survived the Titanic disaster. The pub has some old photos that are well worth a loook.

Hello, my grandfather was a metropolitan police officer in K Division at Chadwell Heath Police Station, from 1901 to 1926. Does anyone have any old police photos (besides the one available on the website).
