Rippleside’s name is derived from a ’ripple’ which is an old English word for a strip of land.

The name ’Ripple’ was already known by 1271. It refers to the narrow strip of higher ground north of the Thames marshes here.

The area is largely commercial and the Ripple Lane rail terminal - the terminal is the point of arrival for a direct train service from China to the UK which became the world’s second longest railway freight route when inaugurated in 2017.

A pinewood figure probably from the Bronze Age, the Dagenham Idol was found in 1922 and dug out of the marshes just south of Ripple Road. Because Dagenham had no museum in which the idol could be displayed, and being administratively located in the county of Essex at the time, it was taken to Colchester Castle Museum for display.

With the opening of the Valence House Museum, the idol is on indefinite loan there.

Polygon Buildings
Following the demolition of the Polygon, and prior to the construction of Oakshott Court in 1974, 4 tenement type blocks of flats were built on the site at Clarendon Sq/Phoenix Rd called Polygon Buildings. These were primarily for people working for the Midland Railway and subsequently British Rail. My family lived for 5 years in Block C in the 1950s. It seems that very few photos exist of these buildings.

Road construction and houses completed
New Charleville Circus road layout shown on Stanford’s Library Map Of London And Its Suburbs 1879 with access via West Hill only.

Plans showing street numbering were recorded in 1888 so we can concluded the houses in Charleville Circus were built by this date.

War damage reinstatement plans of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street
Whilst clearing my elderly Mothers house of general detritus, I’ve come across original plans (one on acetate) of No’s 11 & 13 Aldine Street. Might they be of interest or should I just dispose of them? There are 4 copies seemingly from the one single acetate example. Seems a shame to just junk them as the level of detail is exquisite. No worries if of no interest, but thought I’d put it out there.
