Wintry light in Parsloes Park
Parsloes Park lies on the site of Parsloes Manor, named after Hugh Passelewe, a 13th century owner. In 1619 the manor passed to the Fanshawe family, who owned it for 300 years until it was sold to the London County Council at the time of the First World War. The house which had fallen into disrepair was demolished in 1925 but the park was kept as open space for the residents of Becontree Estate, then under construction. It was opened as a public open space in 1935 to celebrate the official completion of the estate.
The lake is in the south-west corner of the park. This is in the northern part of the park looking towards the backs of the houses in Wren Avenue.
