Quiz

Real change came in the 1850s with the building of the Royal Docks for the new large steam ships. At that time they were the largest docks in the world and the first directly linked to the railways. Other industries were attracted to the area which grew to be the most important manufacturing centre in southern England. Thousands of people moved in to take up the jobs that were created. New residents included those from other parts of London and Britain but also Indians, Chinese, Africans, Jews and Italians. 1850

1857 "Household Words", Issue No. 30, Saturday September 12th 1857 We are abruptly stopped by another ditch-full of stagnating corruption, bubbling as the last bubbled; while, at a little distance, is another row of houses built so that they may pour all their solid and liquid filth into it in the most convenient way.

1901 Expanding Population The explosion of docking industries brought a huge growth in population. In 1851 the population in West Ham was 18,817 and East Ham had a population of 2,858 in In 1901 there were 267,903 people living in West Ham and 96,018 in East Ham. By the end of the Victorian period the area was described as the industrial

1911 Settlers The 1911 census records that 1.5% of West Ham’s population and 1.9% of East Ham’s population were not British. Most were Europeans with a smaller number of people from Asia, Africa and elsewhere.

Early Industrial Decline The period between 1900 and the outbreak of the First World War was difficult for workers in the area. Increased use of machinery meant fewer workers were necessary and the jobs they did do became more repetitive and boring. As so many workers were available it was often easier and cheaper for employers to take on workers by the season or day. This was particularly true in the docks. Men would line up at the gates at “call on” time and hope to be picked out by the foreman. Many only got work a couple of days a week and this put enormous strain on family life.

1921 After the First World War more black and Asian people began to settle particularly around the docks in Canning Town. Some black troops were demobbed here and decided to settle. Many more were sailors particularly from India and the West Indies who met and married local white women. In people of Indian birth were registered on the census as living in the area. By the 1930s the black community in Canning Town was the largest in London.

1940 During the Blitz 3.5 million homes were damaged in London. The greatest destruction was in the East End. By 11 November 1940, 40% of houses in Stepney had been damaged. In the borough of West Ham over 27% of the houses had been destroyed. In the south of the borough, near the docks, the figure was 85% of houses destroyed.

1950 From the 1950s new families, many from Asia and the Caribbean, were recruited to help with post – War reconstruction. They have been joined by those escaping persecution in Africa and other parts of the world. Newham now has one of the most diverse populations of any London Borough

Between 1951 and ,000 jobs were lost in the borough. During the 1970s several long established, large local employers closed down. However, he biggest impact on jobs was the running down of the docks from 1966 and their final closure in This accounted for the loss of 20,000 jobs alone In the 1980s unemployment reached 20%, similar to rates in the 1930s.

New Settlers In the 1960s Britain was suffering from a labour shortage in some industries like health and transport. Government Ministries ran campaigns inviting people from the Commonwealth countries to come and work. In the mid 1970s several hundred East African Asians settled in Newham after being thrown out of Uganda by the dictator Idi Amin.

Housing Building programmes were set up across London and many new houses were built first by the London County Council and then by the Greater London Council. One of the biggest schemes was the Keir Hardie estate. But by 1959 only about one third of the houses destroyed during the war had been replaced. The 1960s saw the introduction of the tower block which was believed to be the answer to London’s housing problems. by the 1980s Newham had one of the highest concentrations of tower blocks in Britain.

s Over the last twenty years Newham has had a huge amount of regeneration investment mainly through government schemes. In 1981 the London Docklands Development Corporation was set up to regenerate Beckton and the Royal Docks. They worked in the area until New housing was built in areas like Cyprus and community facilities developed like the Beckton Children’s Centre and most recently a multiplex cinema. In the Royal Docks the impressive ExCel Exhibition Centre opened in In the 1990s other regeneration schemes have centred on particular areas like Stratford Town Centre and Green Street. In Stratford the Cultural Quarter has been developed and includes the Theatre Royal, Stratford Picture house and Stratford Circus. In Green Street many of the shops have been refurbished. The area is vibrant, bustling and multicultural with a focus on Asian shops and restaurants.

The borough has redeveloped as a transport hub too. The new Stratford Station links rail services with the Docklands Light Railway and the Jubilee Line extension which opened in The London City Airport built in the former docks and opened in 1987 links Newham with the rest of the country and Europe. It serves more than a million passengers a year. The borough is developing culture, leisure and transport industries to replace the old heavy industries it relied on in the past. At the beginning of the 21 st century unemployment has been reduced to under 10%.

2000’s About 250,000 people live in Newham in The borough is recognised as the most ethnically diverse local authority in Britain. About half the population belong to ethnic minority groups. In 2012 the population is now 60% belonging to ethnic minority groups.
