The Road to Hell?
A pub on South End Road serving the residents of the "Airfield Estate". The road to hell was paved with the good intent of Flying Officer Raimund Sanders-Draper an American airman posted to RAF Hornchurch. His exploits were the subject of a Musical Play produced at the Queens Theatre in Hornchurch in 2003. Sanders-Draper was killed in 1943 during a crash landing, he stayed with his stricken aircraft so he could avoid crashing into the local school, he had sufficient height to bail out but chose to save the children. The school in Suttons Lane was renamed Sanders-Draper in his honour.
