Demographics

The area was predominantly white working class. At the last census in 2001, around 85% of the population was 'white', with 80% being classed as 'white - British'. The remaining 20% of the population comprised primarily other European nationalities (5%) Black (7%) and Asian (5%) populations[3]. However recent immigration has transformed the area. It now has a large and growing black and multicultural population, including south Asian and Eastern European nationalities such as Albanians and many other ethnic groups.[citation needed]

Description

Coordinates: 51°32′23″N 0°08′32″E / 51.5397°N 0.1422°E / 51.5397; 0.1422 Dagenham is a suburban town in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, situated 12 miles (19.3 km) east of Charing Cross, in East London.

Etymology

Dagenham as Dæccanhaam is first recorded in a charter of Barking Abbey dating from 687 AD. The first ever area of Dagenham was almost certainly just a small farmstead, the ham or farm of a man called Daecca, as Dæccan means home of a man called Dæcca.[1][2]

Historic sites

On the corner of Whalebone Lane and the Eastern Avenue, diagonally opposite the Moby-Dick public house, is the site of a Saxon moot hall. The adjoining fields were used during World War II by the Royal Artillery as an anti-aircraft battery before being converted into a Prisoner of War camp for Germans. Further south down Whalebone Lane on the corner of the High Road is the Tollgate pub. This stands on the site of the milestone which marked the ten mile (16 km) limit from the City of London and the turnpike toll-gate. A notable inclusion to an historic site in the area, but for other reasons, must be the Roundhouse public house. Situated on the junction of Porters Avenue and Lodge Avenue. It was during the period 1969 to 1975 that it became East London's premier rock music venue, incorporating the "Village Blues Club". Some notable members of Rock aristocracy who performed at the pub include, Jethro Tull, Supertramp, Queen, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton and Status Quo and on 5 April 1969 it played host to non other than the legendary Led Zeppelin. A visual historical record of the Famous Dagenham Roundhouse is planned for the near future. Valence House, the a home of the Fanshawe family, is in Becontree Avenue. It is the only surviving of the five manor houses of Dagenham.[4] Dating back to the 13th century it is sited in parkland and is partially surrounded by a moat. Valence House is the borough's local history museum and art gallery, displaying an impressive collection of artifacts and archives that tell the story of the lives of the people of Barking and Dagenham. The collection also includes portraits, family papers and other mementoes of the Fanshawe family, who occupied Parsloes Manor, since demolished, from the sixteenth century.[5] The Fanshawe collection is "one of the best collections of gentry portraits in the country and is of international importance," according to Valence House.[6] Valence House will soon open a new Fanshawe Gallery featuring the 53 Fanshawe portraits in one room.[7] Among members of the Fanshawe family was the diplomat Sir Richard Fanshawe, 1st Baronet, whose portrait is at Valence House. Nine successive members of the Fanshawe family served as Remembrancer to the Crown, following Henry Fanshawe's appointment to the position by Queen Elizabeth I in 1566. The appointment made possible the family's rise to prominence. One of the longest-serving vicars of Dagenham was Rev. Abraham Blackborne, who died at age 82 in 1797, having served Dagenham for 58 years.[8] Rev. Blackborne was the grandson of Sir Richard Levett, Lord Mayor of London and was married to Frances Fanshawe of Parsloes Manor in Dagenham. Rev. Blackborne and his wife are buried at Saint Anne's Church, Kew, Richmond, Surrey.[9] The Blackborne family had long lived in Dagenham and Hornchurch.[10] At the time of the Restoration, the entire manor of Cockermouth, to which the church was appended, was owned by Sir Thomas Darcy who sold it to William Blackborne Esq., whose heirs later sold to the Bonynges.[11] In 1854, a station was opened on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway in the south of Dagenham, near the Thames, at Dagenham Dock. In 1885 a new direct route from Barking to Pitsea, via Upminster, was built with a new station opened just north of the village. In 1205 Dagenham was large enough to have a chaplain and the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul was probably built at around that time.[2] Dagenham was still an undeveloped village, when building of the vast Becontree estate by the London County Council began in the early 1920s.[12] The building of the enormous estate, which also spread into the neighbouring parishes of Ilford and Barking,[13] caused a rapid increase in population.[14] In 1932 the electrified District Line of the London Underground was extended to Upminster through Dagenham with stations opened as Dagenham and Heathway and today called Dagenham East and Dagenham Heathway.[15] Dagenham East was the location of the Dagenham East rail crash in 1958.[16] Services on the London Tilbury & Southend line at Dagenham East were withdrawn in 1962.

Industry and commerce

In 1931 the Ford Motor Company relocated from Trafford Park, Manchester, to Dagenham, which was already the location of supplier Briggs Motor Bodies. A 500 acre (2 km²) riverside site was developed to become Europe's largest car plant, a vast vertically integrated site with its own blast furnaces and power station, importing iron ore and exporting finished vehicles. By the 1950s Ford had taken over Briggs at Dagenham and its other sites at Doncaster, Southampton, Croydon and Romford. At its peak the Dagenham plant had 4 million square feet (371600 m²) of floor space and employed 40,000.[24] On February 20, 2002, full production was discontinued due to overcapacity in Europe and the relative difficulty of upgrading the 60 year old site compared with other European sites such as Almussafes, Valencia, Spain and Cologne. Other factors leading to the closure of the Auto-assembly line were the need of the site for the new Diesel Centre of Excellence, which produces half Ford's Diesel Engines worldwide and the UK employment laws when compared to Spanish, German and Belgian laws. Ford offered a good redundancy package, billed as one of the best in UK manufacturing. It is the location of the Dagenham wind turbines.[25] Sterling Ltd who were famous for manufacturing British Army weapons and Jaguar car parts were also based in Dagenham until it went bankrupt in 1988. Other industrial names once known world wide were Ever Ready whose batteries could be found in shops throughout the Commonwealth, Bergers Paint and the chemical firm of May and Baker who in 1935 revolutionized the production of antibiotics with their synthetic sulfa-drug known as M&B693. The May and Baker plant, now owned and run by Sanofi-Aventis, occupies a large site near to Dagenham East station and its sports and social club has large grounds between Eastbrookend Country Park and the railway.

Local government and politics

Dagenham was an ancient, and later civil, parish in the Becontree hundred of Essex.[17] The Metropolitan Police District was extended to include Dagenham in 1840. The parish[18] formed part of the Romford Rural District from 1894.[19] The expansion of the Greater London conurbation into the area caused the review of local government structures and it was suggested in 1920 that the Dagenham parish should be abolished and its area divided between Ilford Urban District and Barking Town Urban District.[13] Separately, the London County Council proposed that its area of responsibility should be expanded beyond the County of London to cover the area.[20] Instead, in 1926 the Dagenham parish was removed from the Romford Rural District and became an urban district.[18] In 1938, in further recognition of its development, Dagenham became a municipal borough.[21] In 1965 the Municipal Borough of Dagenham was abolished and its former area became part of the London Borough of Barking,[22] which is now known as Barking and Dagenham.[23] The current MP for the Dagenham constituency is Jon Cruddas.

Redevelopment

Dagenham Dock, to the south of Dagenham and adjacent to the River Thames, was once a large coaling port. The Chequers public house (now closed) gained world wide fame due to the many merchant seamen of all nationalities who stopped off there for a last drink before regaining ship. The area now forms part of the London Riverside section of the Thames Gateway redevelopment zone. Major brownfield housing developments are forecast to increase the population by tens of thousands of people.
