Cheneys Road WW1 armistice bonfire

Cheneys Road was first occupied some time around 1887  or 1888.  The inspiration for the street name is not known.  It was developed by the Manby-Colegrave family who owned the Cann Hall property estate, originally in the parish of Wanstead but later transferred to the Leyton local authority area.
