History
Manor Park is centred on one of the Roman roads developed out from Londinium between 43CE and 68CE, leaving the north-east corner of the capital Londinium, through Old Ford, Stratford, Forest Gate, Ilford and Romford to Camulodunum (Colchester), being recorded by the Romans as Iter IX in the Antonine Itinerary. Antiquarian Ivan Margary labelled the Roman road as RR3, and it became known as The Great Road.
The original route of Margary's RR3 (The Great Road) has been obscured time: 'The crossing place at Iceland Wharf, Old Ford, has been well established, and from it the eastern road ran north-eastward through Stratford, though its course through Forest Gate and Manor Park appears to be slightly distorted from the true line.'
Apart from four pairs of small semi-detached agricultural workers' houses, known as Ebor Cottages, the area to the north of Romford Road was ripe for development; the owners, the Gurney family, sold 110 acres of market garden land to Thomas Corbett in 1877. The Corbett family built the Woodgrange and Durham Road estates between 1877 and 1892. The Forest Gate Weekly recorded the attractiveness of the estate, it having "the three great essentials to the average city man of easy access, reasonable rentals and a first class local market."

More about Manor Park
Geography
Manor Park was part of the County Borough of East Ham, Essex until 1965, when the Greater London county was formed. The area postcode is E12 and it is part of the East London post town.
The Durham Road Conservation Zone is a small late-Victorian development, built close to Manor Park station. It was designated a Conservation Area in 1984 to retain its original charm and character. Additional planning controls were introduced in 1998 to protect and enhance its special character. The area, popularly referred to as Manor Park Village, was originally developed in the 1880s on farmland that formed part of the Gurney estate. It was built by one builder to an overall plan, with a limited range of house styles giving the area a distinctive character and unity. The developers, the Corbett family, built several suburban estates including the adjacent Woodgrange Estate in Forest Gate.
A direct line of Margary's identified ancient Roman Road RR3 from the Old Ford crossing, to the ancient river crossing at Ilford, would run east through a section of the estate, north-east to the area of Manor Park station.
Education
Manor Park is home to many primary schools, including Salisbury primary school, which opened in 1893; it is accessible by the main Romford Road or High Street North.
