It's definately a place - if you saw the inhabitants they are anything but flat!

It's a corner of what was originally Epping Forest, when it still stretched as far west as the River Leigh, when West Ham was a little hamlet with a Norman church and Hornchurch the epicentre of the cattle market. These last remnants has playing fields, rough scrubby pastures, copses and a couple of ponds. There may still be a herd of cows on it, but I haven't seen them for a while.
