248 bus on Avon Road
Heading for Romford Market, having started at Moor Lane, Cranham. In former times, before this area was fully developed, the 248 still started at Cranham, but ran down St. Mary's Lane to Upminster station - not to Romford, passing under the fairly low railway bridge carrying the Upminster - Grays line. This required use of the low height RLH double deckers on this route. The coachwork was rather ugly compared with the standard RT bus.

London Transport RLH65 in Upminster
At the Avon Road terminus of service 248.
This was a short local service within Upminster. The RLH type was used by London Transport where low bridges meant that the standard RT bus could not be used, and only 24 of them ran in the central (red buses) area. The last of them ran in 1971.

Outbuildings at Upminster Court
Upminster Court was built in 1905. This looks like a coach house, or possibly by 1905 a garage even?
The figure lurking by the wall on the left is a replica Chinese terra cotta warrior. There are several of these in the grounds.

London Loop avoids Hall Lane
For all it's marked as just a yellow road on the map, Hall Lane is a busy local link road and isn't all that pleasant to walk by. So on another of its unavoidable roadside sections it's good that for some of the way the LOOP can go along this parallel service road which is a bit quieter.

Upminster Court
Built in 1905 for a wealthy businessman, the court ceased being a private residence in 1939.
Since then it has had a varied career as refugee centre, care home, agricultural college etc. Part of the grounds became a golf course.
Currently in business use. http://www.upminster.com/history/places/upminster-court.htm

The Tithe Barn was built by the Abbey of Waltham in 1450 when the Hall (now the golf club) was a retiring place or hunting seat for the Abbot. The barn stands 18 metres long by 12 metres wide and 45 metres long. It became a museum on the 1st May 1976. There are currently over 14,500 exhibits ranging from Roman times to the present day.
