Laindon High Road Shops & Properties

Please note: This is a work in progress with updates as information becomes available.
Other points of interest:
Windsor Road no longer exists. Its previous course is now a public footpath.
Essex Road and Ulster Road no longer exist. The former disappeared in the 1970s when the Oxcroft's housing estate was constructed, and the latter when the shopping centre was created during the 1960s.
Tavistock Road is now accessed from Holst Avenue following the latters construction in the 1950s.
