Marks Gate
Human settlement in England
About
Marks Gate is an area of London, England in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Part of East London, it is immediately north of Chadwell Heath and to the west of Romford.
The name originally referred to an entrance or gate into Hainault Forest at the northern end of the current Whalebone Lane North, the name being derived from the proximity of the gate to the manor of Marks (later Marks Hall) which stood on what is now Warren Hall Farm. As with many old houses the name was derived from the de Merk family who built the original manor in the 14th Century.
