Following deforestation that year straight roads were built and farms sprang up to serve the fresh vegetable London markets. Much of the housing in Aldborough Hatch was built in the 1930s with the Oaks Lane Estate being a major post-war development.<\/p><p class=\"style86\">Recent sand and gravel extraction on Fairlop Plain commenced in the 1950s but in the a planning application was submitted to extract on Aldborough Hatch Farm over the area stretching north from St. Peter\u2019s up to the present southern boundary of Fairlop Waters.<\/p><p class=\"style86\">It was this that prompted the Revd. Bill Barnes, Vicar of St. Peter\u2019s from 1966 to 1982 to form the Aldborough Hatch Defence Association (AHDA) to monitor and protect the environment of Aldborough Hatch and specifically to ensure that the proposed sand and gravel extractions did not affect the buildings of St. Peter\u2019s \u2013 the church being Grade II Listed (1862) and the church halls Locally Listed (1867).<\/p><p class=\"style86\">The Revd. Barnes was the first Chair of the AHDA, Joan Sullivan was Vice-Chair and Ron King, Treasurer \u2013 Joan\u00a0<span class=\"style3\">Sullivan<\/span>, John Coombes, John DeBere and one or two others are surviving founder members (although there could be others). Early members included Vivien Bendall and Linda Perham, MPs for Ilford North, and Jenny Chalmers. Later Chairs included Frank Sinclair, Ron King, Kip Pedge and Chris Gannaway. Jenny had two bouts as Chair \u2013 the last occasion for the past 15 years or so.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fairlop Plain in the London Borough of Redbridge falls within the ecclesiastical parish of St. Peter&rsquo;s Aldborough Hatch, the northern boundary of the parish running along Forest Road, with the Central Line on the west, Hainault Road on the east and roughly following the A12 on the south.
