Please can anyone tell me what Padnall Hall Chadwell Heath Essex was in 1891. Was it just a manor or perhaps a Nursing Home?

Hi,
On the 1891 census it was unoccupied. :'(
On the 1901 census there was a Robert Roberts aged 48 born Whitechapel living there with his family and his occupation was Farmer.
RG13/1652 folio 15 page 6.

Thank you for that bit of information. I am trying to trace an Annie Francis who was supposed to have been living there she probably was a servant. The information I have is a copy of a page in a book which says :
Annie Francis Padnall hall chadwell Heath Essex
18 April 1891 Confirmed
Thanks again I have tried all ways to find Padnall Hall but there seems to be no information on it at all.

Dear Tae,
Re your enquiry about Padnall Hall, I contacted my Uncle Bill Lovett, who before he moved to New Zealand in 1953 lived in Cross Road Chadwell Heath, and without hesitation, he says that the Padnall Estate, is or was what is now Whalebone Lane North by its junction with the Eastern Avenue, in Chadwell Heat, by the Dick Turpin Pub. What I would suspect is that sometime in the last 50 or 100 years, someone bought the hall and estate, and built a few houses on it, and the Hall, such as it was, is now someones back garden.

To Boblima
Thanks for the information.

Padnall Hall was demolished due to it being derelict and unsafe just after World War 2 when the Padnall Housing estate was built. I lived as a young boy on the other side of the Eastern Avenue in Chadwell Heath. Where it used to be there is now an arcade of shops.

Thanks for the information about Padnall Hall being pulled down.
Please can you tell me was it occupied in 1891 by anybody at all or whether anybody lived in the cottage.

My grt grandfather and great uncle ran fruit farm at Padnall hall. They were George Roberts and Thomas Roberts. When George died the Hall and farm was closed. Sorry correction it was Robert Roberts who farmed at Padnall hall along with his brother Tom. George his other brother ran sack making company.

Just a quick & slight mild correction Bob, just in case it throws anybody out.....
Your Uncle Bill "was" close with the name(s) and accurate with the Padnall area,
BUT HE HAS HIS WIRES CROSSED = INACCURATE WRONG PUB
The ACTUAL name of the Pub he refers to, is "THE MOBY DICK" = not "The Dick Turpin"
(To put it mildly, he's - Ahem - "confusing his Dicks" - LOL)
"THE MOBY DICK" is the Pub at the junction of Whalebone Lane & the Eastern Avenue.
"THE DICK TURPIN" Pub, is a few miles further West, between NEWBURY PARK (A.12) & FAIRLOP
I know both of them & the area real well, coz I was born/bred/raised there - (decades).
Our family home was a stones throw away, from 1956-1995, so, I know it like the back of my hand.
My mate Bill, lived at 58 Highview Hse (bang opposite), plus, I delivered daily to the Golf Driving range**
(which nowadays occupies the opposite-diagonal-quarter of that junction & gets featured in 'T.O.W.I.E')
King George's Hospital USED TO BE near the old 'Dick Turpin' P.H, till demolished & moved to Goodmayes.
(East-North-Eastern top-end, in Barley Lane, not far from the now demolished "HAWBUSH" PUB)
We had a lovely Black-nurse friend, Stella & she lived about 500-yds from the 'Dick Turpin' Pub.
(which also wasn't far, from Eddy Grinstead's, the famous old A.127 Newb'Pk Motorcycle store)
You say your Uncle Bill lived in Cross Rd, C.H.
By amazing co-incidence, my Boss, best-man (wedding) & Church-leader lived at 14 Cross Road**
** ( Demolished, as with ALL the even-numbers, circa mid-late 1990's)
I spent many happy days/nights there & watched the 1977 'Virginia Wade' Wimbledon Final there, too.
Went the way of J.Burns, Wiggins Teape, Motorgear, Morganite Ships Carbon & so many other C.H places.
That Western-end of Chadwell Heath has sadly, today, changed beyond all recognition.
Wanted to chime-in with the correction, just to put the record 100% straight.... cheers.
