Gooshays Drive was the first complete street on the Harold Hill Estate.
Mr And Mrs Rutherford, the tenants of the first permanent house on the LCC’s Harold Hill Estate, received the keys to 44 Gooshays Drive from Mr Owen, Chairman of the LCC’s Housing Committee, handed over in a special ceremony on 25 November 1948. The Rutherfords moved from the Becontree Estate in Dagenham where they had lived for twenty years.
