'''Aldersbrook''' |
'''Aldersbrook''' (also known as [[Aldersbrook Estate]]), is an [[Edwardian architecture|Edwardian]] housing estate in Wanstead, [[East London]]. It is named after the medieval [[Aldersbrook Manor|Manor of Aldersbrook]] the manor itself was named after the [[Alders Brook]], a minor river which marks part of the boundary between the London Boroughs of [[London Borough of Newham|Newham]] and [[London Borough of Redbridge|Redbridge]]. |
||
The area and the estate now wholly fall within the [[London Borough of Redbridge]], though historically Aldersbrook Manor has always fallen inside the parish of [[Little Ilford]], which is in turn part of what is now the [[London Borough of Newham]]. |
|||
As described above, it is surrounded on all sides by open space or parkland, making it a desirable "leafy" place to live in an otherwise dense urban area of London. Northumberland Avenue and Aldersbrook Road, in particular, have housing frontage built on one side of the road, affording views of Wanstead Park and [[Wanstead Flats]], respectively, to the properties there. Perhaps reflecting the generally pro-[[Temperance movement|temperance]] [[Edwardian era]] in which the estate was laid out, there are no [[public houses]] at all in the area, save for the bar of the Courtney Hotel, which is at the extreme south-eastern corner of the area. |

The 2010 [[Mike Leigh]] film ''[[Another Year (film)|Another Year]]'' used the area for locations.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1431181/locations Filming locations for Another Year (2010)]</ref> |
|||
There is a school, [[Aldersbrook Primary School]], two churches, one [[Anglican]] and one [[Baptist]], and a library on Park Road, which seems to keep being threatened with closure but always remains open after campaigns by the locals. There is a short strip of shops on Aldersbrook Road, in the south-eastern corner of the estate, a convenience store in the western end of the estate, behind the Anglican church, and a launderette and another convenience store at the eastern side of the estate. |

While the greater body of the estate was laid out in the 1910s, which defines its overall character, there are smaller areas of more recent post-war development. Some examples follow. Brading Crescent area was laid out as a mix of council housing styles in the 1950s: terraces, [[sheltered housing]], and one high-rise block called Jackson Court. At the extreme eastern edge of the estate, behind Clavering Road, are small courtyards of flat-roofed terraced housing laid out in the late 1960s. On the site of the former [[maternity hospital]], modern houses and flats were laid out in the mid 1980s to form Alders Close. There is also a tiny pocket of land directly behind the wall of the Primary School which was developed into Albury Mews in the late 1980s. |

Since 2018, Aldersbrook has been part of the electoral ward of [[Wanstead Park (ward)|Wanstead Park]] and elects two councillors to [[Redbridge London Borough Council]]. |
