Upminster Bridge history
The bridge has existed since at least 1375 and is recorded in 1617 as being in need of repair. It was destroyed and replaced with another after the winter of 1709/10. Replacement wooden carriage bridges were constructed in 1759 and 1827 and an adjacent ford was in use until the 19th century.
Upminster Bridge etymology
The placename Upminster is first recorded in 1062 as Upmynstre and is recorded in the 1086 Domesday Book. It is formed from Old English upp and mynster, possibly meaning the large church on high ground above the valley of the Ingrebourne. Bridge House refers to a house which stood nearby on the current site of Hornchurch Stadium.
Upminster Bridge geography / climate
The area is split between Hornchurch and Upminster post towns. The post town boundary does not follow the line of the river, instead deviating from it at Hacton Bridge, following the Fenchurch Street–Southend railway line to Berkeley Close. This causes three streets east of the Ingrebourne to be in the Hornchurch post town.
