Gidea Park history
Early history
Thomas Cooke, a Yorkshireman who became London Mayor in 1462, was granted a Royal Charter for Royal Liberty of Havering-atte-Bower, which enabled him to build a country house. The house remained unfinished for at least a century, because of his numerous incarcerations in the Tower of London for high treason. Upon his death in 1478, the estate was passed down through the Cooke family and eventually to his great-grandson, Anthony Cooke, who was a tutor for Edward VI. In 1657, the hall and its grounds were sold to Richard Emes, a local businessman, for £9,000.
Exhibition houses
Romford Garden Suburb was constructed between July 1910 and June 1911 on the Gidea Hall and Balgores estates. A total of 159 cottages and houses were designed by more than 100 architects. A further 35 houses, mostly of contemporary flat-roofed design, were built in 1934–35 in Heath Drive, Brook Road, and Eastern Avenue.
