The River Rom
Public access to this part of the Rom is difficult, as much of it was culverted and fenced off during town redevelopment in the 1960s. However, Havering Council have recently announced plans to open up the river.

River Rom from Como Street bridge
There is provision for a considerable increase in flow, which can occur very quickly with the rapid run-off from urban areas.

Romford: Como Street
This was an attempt to try to re-create a Francis Frith image of an ordinary street scene from 100 years ago. The Frith image can be seen here http://www.francisfrith.com/search/england/essex/romford/photos/romford_59816.htm I did not quite get the angle right but the houses are recognisably the same. The identical houses on the right side of the street visible in the Frith version still exist by the way. This photograph was taken at the junction of Como Street with Brooklands Road to the left and Olive Street to the right. The houses must have been fairly new in 1908 as the 1897 Edition of the Ordnance Survey 6" to the mile map does not show them, although Como Street itself is shown.
Spot the differences! The furthest three in the first block of six have evidently lost their pitched roofs over the bay windows at some stage, and indeed this seems to have happened to most of the houses in the street.

North Street, Romford
Taken from the end of Ingrave Road. A significant spot for me as many years ago my father worked for Bettaware Brushes - which occupied the site where the brick building ahead now stands.

River Rom in Romford
An algal growth has formed a scummy layer on top of the river in this reach just downstream of the Cedar Road culvert and soon attracts litter. On the left is a water level gaugeboard. Each black and white bar on the board is one centimetre wide, and the top of the topmost black bar is 17 metres above sea level.
