Fullwell Cross Homepage


The New Fairlop Oak http://www.jdwetherspoon.co.uk/home/pubs/the-new-fairlop-oak is a J D Wetherspoon pub that takes its name from the oak tree planted on the green at Fullwell Cross during the Festival of Britain in 1951. The original Fairlop Oak in Hainault Forest was blown down in a gale in 1820. A new oak was planted in the recreation ground, in 1909, on the site thought to be that of the old tree. The pub is on the north side of [[2377418]].

Dist:0.1km<br/>The roundabout with its single prominent tree is on the A123 at its junction with Forest Road, Craven Gardens and Fullwell Avenue. It certainly dates from prior to the Second World War as it is shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1939.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The State in Fairlop Road was completed in 1938 to the designs of the renowned cinema architect George Coles, but it suffered bomb damage in 1940 and was not reopened until it had been refurbished by ABC Cinemas in 1948. In 1972 it was altered into a twin cinema and bingo operation, but the cinema section closed in 1984. The photographer understands that bingo, currently run by Gala, has continued in the former cinema stalls, while the rest of the cinema at balcony level, and including, it is thought, the original 1938 cafe and ballroom, remains mothballed. Perhaps surprisingly it is not a Listed Building.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The distinctive circular Fullwell Cross Library with its green copper finish roof was designed by the architect Frederick Gibberd (1908-1984) and was opened in 1968. It comprises a single storey lower structure with narrow vertical windows topped with a higher lantern-like shell with 16 windows providing light to the centre of the main building. It is a Grade II Listed Building. Gibberd was principally known for his design of Harlow New Town, but was also the architect of Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral and the London Central Mosque. This is actually a view of the rear of the library across Craven Gardens.

Dist:0.5km<br/>During the summer of 2008, Barkingside High Street received a street light replacement scheme to coincide with the installing of CCTV cameras. However, I can't see why this was necessary as CCTV cameras need "white" light to be able to give good colour rendition, but the light output on the older lamps was "white" anyway! The older lanterns were only installed in 2004, so they are still new! What a waste!
