Entrance to Repton Park
Repton Park was named after Humphry Repton, the last great English landscape designer of the 18th century. He advised on landscaping the parkland of the Claybury estate which was developed into a fine gentleman's estate from 1786 by James Hatch. Hatch built a new mansion, expanded the estate and it was he who commissioned Humphry Repton. In 1887 the estate was sold and Claybury Asylum was built by 1893 on the brow of a hill, the first mental hospital built by the new London County Council. From 1893 to 1918 it was called Claybury Asylum, from 1918 to 1937 Claybury Mental Hospital, and from 1937 to its closure in 1995 Claybury Hospital
In 1997 the Health Authority sold the Hospital estate for an exclusive private housing development, renamed Repton Park, but 18 hectares of ancient woodland and 38 hectares of parkland became part of a new public park, Claybury Park. This also incorporated Redbridge Open Space to the south, itself part of the Claybury estate until the 1880s.

The Three Jolly Wheelers, Chigwell Road
The Three Jolly Wheelers was built in the early 19th century, and originally relied heavily on the tourist trade. A photograph of the inn taken in 1906 shows that the inn used to hire out horses and traps, which were most likely for day-trippers travelling to Epping Forest. It is just a few yards over the border from the London Borough of Redbridge into Essex.
