The municipal borough of Ilford, in north-east London, grew from a
sleepy Essex backwater in the seventeenth century to become a major
coaching town, thanks to its strategic position on the
London-Colchester road. Its growth continued through the early and
mid-nineteenth century with the arrival of the railway and Ilford
became established as a regional industrial centre, home to the
eponymous photographic film and chemicals manufacturer, Ilford
Photo, and radio, electronics and telecommunications company,
Plessey. The extension of the Central Line service after the Second
World War brought further expansion before Ilford was absorbed into
the Borough of Redbridge as part of Greater London, in 1965. All
these changes are captured in this unique selection of old and new
images and informative captions, compiled by London author Michael
Foley, and is essential reading for anybody who knows and loves
Ilford.
