IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Horns Road, ILFORD, IG6 1DQ

A couple of months after Alex took his Image and The County appears to have closed to business. Looking at the closing down party Halloween notices still left outside the pub this probably happened around the end of October 2010. The pub was on Horns Road. Old Ordnance Survey maps show that this area was originally a linear village known as Ley Street and an older building called the Horns Tavern is shown on the 1896 map. Probably the same building is also shown on the 1864 map but without a name. The building is still shown on the map of 1919, but by 1939 the current building is shown as the Horns Tavern.

It appears to have been the Cranvale residential care home. https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-135960167/contact

Now the church hall

The Church has an address on Donington Avenue, but this is the longer Hamilton Avenue side. Although not a listed building the church is interesting architecturally, the foundation stone having been laid in 1939, and showing that just before the Second World War churches were still being built in the same basic style of chancel, nave, tower and steeple that had been in use for centuries. The Ordnance Survey map of 1938 shows an earlier church aligned north-east to south-west and facing onto the parallel road to Hamilton Avenue, Emmott Avenue.
