A short history of RM12

Before the 1930s the area now called Elm Park consisted of farms spread across the southern part of Hornchurch parish. Elm Farm appears in records from 1777 and went by the name Elms in 1883. Hornchurch became an urban district in 1926. In 1933 the developer Richard Costain and Sons acquired land from Wyebridge, Elm and Uphavering farms and the name Elm Park was devised from Elm Farm. Plans for 7,000 houses on 600 acres were announced in May 1933. Hilton Young, Minister of Health, opened the Elm Park Garden City in 1935. House building stopped during World War II and bombing near RAF Hornchurch damaged some homes. The council then built social housing, providing 1,146 council houses by 1964. The area joined Havering and Greater London in 1965. Five Grade II listed buildings stand near the centre, including the Hall of St Leonard's Children's Home and 195 and 197 High Street.
