Rainham combines an old village centre and inter-war and post-war housing with one of east London's main industrial areas along Ferry Lane and the A13. New flats are being built along New Road (A1306) at Beam Park.
Rainham grew outwards from its village. Roads laid out in 1880 were built with semi-detached and terraced houses, and after the First World War estates were broken up and plots sold to smallholders, leaving a mix of house types and plot sizes. South Hornchurch, in the Rainham post town, includes Orchard Village, built on the 1960s Mardyke Estate after six 13-storey blocks were demolished. New Green on Dunedin Road replaced two tower blocks with 197 homes, and Beam Park is a new neighbourhood off the A1306. Lift access and parking matter in the newer blocks.
Gerpins Lane Reuse and Recycling Centre accepts electricals. Free for residents of Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Newham and Redbridge who show a current council tax bill or driving licence. Cars with ordinary household waste need no booking, but vans under 3,500kg, trailers and any DIY or renovation waste must be booked in advance, and Luton vans, tippers, flatbeds and tail-lift vans are refused. A small fridge in the back of the car is possible; a fridge-freezer or American-style unit usually isn't.
In Rainham we plan the stop before we arrive: controlled parking and red routes mean the truck can load but not wait, which is all a collection needs.
