==Residential areas==
The Woodgrange Estate [[Conservation Area]] is a residential area with predominantly double-fronted [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]] three and four bedroomed houses built between 1887 and 1892 by developer Thomas Corbett and sons who went on to oversee the construction of more than 1,100 houses to exploit the transport links provided by one of the first Essex lines, opened by [[Eastern Counties Railway]] in 1839, running through Forest Gate in 1840. Corbett paid £40,000 ({{Inflation|index=UK|value=40000|start_year=1877|r=-5|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}) for land associated with Woodgrange Farm, Essex, in 1877, which was formerly used as a market garden serving London. The Woodgrange Estate consists of four roads from north to south: Hampton Road; Osborne Road; Claremont Road and Windsor Road, all of which link to Woodgrange Road to the west. There are blocks of council flats at the western end of Claremont and Windsor roads built on the site of houses damaged during bombing in [[World War II]]. Nearby Godwin Junior School in Forest Gate recently picked up a [[British Council]] International School Award, while the [[Ofsted]] Outstanding-rated [[Forest Gate Community School]] remains one of the best in the country, by measure of Progress 8 scores. The secondary school is also a member of World Class Schools, having been accredited following a process.{{Citation needed|date=September 2011}} To the north of the railway running through Forest Gate is the "village" with terraced streets named for the [[Oxford Martyrs]] (Latimer, Ridley and Cranmer) running up to the open spaces of [[Wanstead Flats]].
