Richard Scott Motors, Whalebone Lane North
The view looked very much as it had 16 years ago Image but its significance for me is that it is where my paternal great-grandmother once lived, in the house behind the cars.

Marks Gate windmill in 1920
The original image resides in an album that was my paternal grandfather's: George W Baker and therefore he might have photographed the mill in its last days. The discussion I added to http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1655097 states that the structure of the mill was considered unsafe soon after 1921 when all but the brick base was demolished.

Furze House Farm
Furze House Farm is the last remnant in Barking & Dagenham of the agricultural landscape which predominated until the 1920s. Although the fields here serve as a reminder of how most of Barking & Dagenham once looked, this particular farmland is of relatively recent origin. In the early 19th century this land lay within Hainault Forest. The name 'Furze House' refers to the heathy nature of the Forest, furze being an old name for gorse. It was only after the removal of the Forest's legal protection in 1851 that this area was turned over to agricultural use. The area of open countryside here in the north of Barking & Dagenham was reduced to the current extent around 1960 when the Marks Gate housing estate to the south was completed.
Billet Road is a classic example of how the Green Belt works. To the south is the estate of Marks Gate while across the road as seen here is open countryside. The land here belongs to Furze House Farm which lies just the other side of the trees.
