Welcome to Corringham
This website was made with CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor and with the free image and photo manipulation software Paint.net. Thanks to the software developers for these two excellent tools. The extensive resources available at the City of London, London Metropolitan Archives (city of London, LMA), the Land Registry (LR), Westminster Councy Council (WCC) and the City of Westminster Archives Centre (WAC) were extremely useful in making this website. Photos All photos of Corringham as it is today were made by Andrew Buckley, Niels Lous and Alan Hay in 2005 and 2006. Niels Lous also made the maps. The sources of the remaining images are listed below. The location where each original image was found is mentioned as a link between square brackets. Documents What follows is a list of all documents, maps, articles and books that provided information for this website. As not all of them have identifiable authors and some do not have clear titles, they are ordered by publication date - which may be slightly inconvenient, but is consistent at least. The location where each document can be found is given as a link between square brackets.
