English: Homes Fit for Heroes Dagenham. This is the junction of Rogers Rd and Holgate road Dagenham. The picture is looking down Holgate Road. These are typical examples of the housing on the Becontree Estate. Initially 25000 homes were built by the London County Council between 1921 and 1934. These homes fit for the heroes of WW1 had all mod cons gas, water and electricity with inside toilets and bathrooms. A further 2000 homes were built before WW2. The Becontree estate was the biggest council estate in the world. Of course much of it has been sold off. The houses on the estate were almost universally pebble dashed to cover up inferior bricks. You can spot the houses still in public ownership in this particular area of the estate as the council has taken to weatherboarding them...(edited by Dagenham resident 2012) This is not true about the weather boarding. The wooden houses seen in the forfront of the picture were the first houses to be built on the estate, they were erected as road markers and designed to mimic that of sweedish chalets. Originaly homes for the overseers,managers and formen of the building project, they were intended to be demolished once the estate was finished, however for reasons unknown it was decided that they should stay. Known as the 'wooden houses' by the residents of the estate. they are the oldest houses of the Becontree estate.
