A short history of DA8

Erith has a Saxon name, Ærre hyðe. A Latin charter of 695 is the earliest written mention. The surrounding area, called Lesnes or Lessness, appears in the Domesday Book of 1086 and later passed to Bishop Odo. Henry VIII opened a naval dockyard here and the warship Henri Grace à Dieu was fitted out in 1515. Erith remained a river port until the 1850s. In 1864 Erith Iron Works was founded and a gunpowder explosion breached the river wall. Erith Urban District, which took in Northumberland Heath, formed in 1894. A cottage estate for Vickers workers followed in Northumberland Heath in 1916. Bomb damage in the Second World War led to rebuilding from 1961. Five listed buildings stand nearby, the highest graded being Christ Church at Grade II*.
