Theydon Bois School first came into being in the early 1820s but it was not until 1840 when land was made available that a proper school was built.

That building was situated in Coppice Row at the front of St Mary’s Church and could accommodate up to 60 pupils.

In 1932 under the ’Hadow’ scheme, a committee set up by Sir William Hadow, Theydon Bois was granted Junior School status and 44 children who were 11 years and over were transferred to Epping Senior School. The ’Hadow’ scheme was a precursor for the later Education Act and stated that all children over the age of 11 should be educated separately from the younger ones.

In the early 1950s an agreement to move to a new building was reached. A suitable site was found at the heart of the new Baldocks Estate and construction of the new school began.

Road construction and houses completed

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.

No 36 Upper East Smithfield
My great great grandfather was born at No 36 Upper East Smithfield and spent his early years staring out at a "dead wall" of St Katharine’s Docks. His father was an outfitter and sold clothing for sailors. He describes the place as being backed by tenements in terrible condition and most of the people living there were Irish.
