A short history of IG8

A minor Roman road, later used by the Saxons, crossed the River Roding at a ford in what is now Woodford Bridge and the Abbot of Waltham held the parish until the 16th century. A bridge had replaced the ford by 1239 and in 1573 a cart bridge replaced a horse bridge. Woodford Green grew as a hamlet beside the Green, a common within Epping Forest. A stone bridge built in 1768 was rebuilt in 1771 after floods. In 1797 Sir James Wright opened an artificial slate manufactory at Woodford Bridge, which closed after several years. Woodford Bridge became an ecclesiastical district by 1854 and Woodford Green an urban district in 1894. Barnardo's opened a Garden City for Boys in Woodford Bridge in 1912 and it closed in 1977. Of 11 listed buildings nearby the United Free Church is Grade II*.
