A short history of E7
Forest Gate lies on a Roman road laid out from Londinium towards Colchester between 43 and 68 CE. A gold, garnet and blue glass pendant from the late sixth or early seventh century was found there in 1875. A charter of 1189 mentions Woodgrange, which stayed with Stratford Langthorne Abbey until the Dissolution. Neighbouring Leytonstone was a hamlet by the 14th century, named after a Roman milestone. The name Forest Gate is first recorded in the late 17th century, for a gate that kept cattle off the main road until its removal in 1881. From the 18th century wealthy city families, many of them Quakers, built country houses here. Emmanuel church dates from 1852. West Ham became a borough in 1886 and a fire at the Forest Gate Industrial School killed 26 boys in 1890. Newham took over in 1965. Eleven Grade II listed buildings stand nearby.
