Ilford history
You wouldn't believe it but elephants, rhinos, tigers and wolves once inhabited Ilford. In fact, one of the best specimens of a mammoth was found in Ilford.. Around Saxon times existed the hamlet of Ilefort. This name is in the Doomsday Book. It may have been known as Hile-ford as it was a ford in the River Hile, which is now the River Roding.
In 1650 Ilford consisted of 60 houses, close together. Since the arrival of the Great Eastern Railway to the area in 1839, the population numbers started climbing. In 1880 the population was 10,000 people. In 1910 this climbed to an incredible 78,000. In 1938 it was 167,000.
Peter Griggs was a well-respected man who was instrumental in building houses to hold the soaring population. When Ilford grew big enough to have its own constituency, he was elected as Ilford's first MP in 1918. Griggs presented a Clock Tower, which was once a major landmark in the area, to Ilford in 1901 at the Broadway. In 1934 it was relocated to South Park. It was there destroyed by a V2 bomb during the Second World War. On October 21, 1926, the present Queen Mother visited Ilford Town Hall with King George VI, to present the Royal Charter, creating a Municipal Borough in the County of Essex from the former Urban District of Ilford. In 1965 it was incorporated into the London Borough of Redbridge as London grew.
