After the opening of the station in 1910, an idealistic Arts and Crafts project named Romford Garden Suburb began here, with designs that won an architects’ competition. The homes were well-built, light and airy, and constructed in a variety of individual styles on the land attached to Gidea Hall. A fuller history can be seen at http://hidden-london.com/gazetteer/gidea-park/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gidea_Park These houses are in Gidea Close.
