An important local route, that together with roads of other names on the same rather straight alignment formed an ancient northbound highway from a former Thames ferry at Dagenham. This part together with Whalebone Lane North was named after whale bones situated at a toll house - for the story see http://www.lbbd.gov.uk/MuseumsAndHeritage/ValenceHouseMuseum/Pages/WhaleboneGallery.aspx
