Essex Road, ROMFORD, RM7 8BE

Driving along Mawney Road from Collier Row towards Romford gave us this amazing view - clearly the wind has been blowing in the right direction and has managed to sweep the snow onto the trunks and branches of the trees that line the road, creating this classic winter scene! The trees on this stretch of the road don't have as many branches and so aren't as spectacular, but provide an excellent contrast all the same! View taken looking east-southeast along Mawney Road towards Romford, this time in square TQ5089.

This tree has to be the best one yet! I just wish that lamp post could've been further down the road - it's spoiling the scene a little bit! View taken looking east-southeast down Mawney Road towards Romford.

Driving along Mawney Road from Collier Row towards Romford gave us this amazing view - clearly the wind has been blowing in the right direction and has managed to sweep the snow onto the trunks and branches of the trees that line the road, creating this classic winter scene! Just one last shot before the trees end and we come to the junction with the A12. Just as a matter of interest, the wind must have been blowing in a different direction on the other half of Mawney Road (on the other side of the A12) as the trees there weren't covered in snow at all. Oh well, at least this half of the road put on a good display! View taken looking east-southeast towards the A12 (marked out by the different lamp standards in the background) and Romford beyond.

To be found in the Mawney area of Romford, at the junction of Marlborough Road (to the left in the photograph) with Mawney Road (in the foreground).

King George's Playing Fields were originally known as Mawney Park after the old manor of Mawneys. As Romford expanded, the Mawneys Estate was sold for housing development in 1883 although the land here remained as fields, and partly allotment gardens. In 1928 it was acquired and laid out as a recreation ground. Later Romford Borough Council received funding of £3,000 from the King George's Fields Foundation, and as a consequence it was renamed King George's Playing Fields. The boundaries are almost the same as those of the old fields, although the southern boundary is now the A12 (Eastern Avenue). The River Rom forms the eastern boundary of the park and is just beyond the trees on the left.

Waiting at the lights at the junction with Mawney Road. Aldi (just visible on the left) has been completed not long before this was taken in 2012.

Traffic on the eastbound (far) side was held up by the traffic lights at Mawney Road whereas the traffic on this westbound side had only just had the change of lights.
