IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Mawney Road, ROMFORD, RM7 8DL

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! 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.

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.

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!
