A short history of IG1
Uphall Camp, an Iron Age earthwork of the first and second centuries BC, is the oldest evidence of settlement, lying between the River Roding and Ilford Lane. A charter of 735 AD mentions the large manor of Barking, which included Ilford and belonged to Barking Abbey. The Domesday Book of 1086 records Ilefort, meaning ford over the Hyle, a Celtic name once used for the Roding, though that entry concerns the Little Ilford area. Cranbrook appears as Cranebroc in 1233, named after the Cran Brook. The London to Colchester road came under turnpike control in 1721 and barges could reach Ilford Bridge from 1737. The railway station opened in 1839 and Ilford Photo began in Cranbrook Road in 1879. Ilford separated from Barking in 1888 and became a municipal borough in 1926 before joining Redbridge in 1965. Of 11 nearby listed buildings the chapel of Ilford Hospital of St Mary and St Thomas of Canterbury is Grade II*.
