Cheneys Road
Leytonstone
Cheneys Road was first occupied some time around 1887 or 1888. The inspiration for the street name is not known. It was developed by the Manby-Colegrave family who owned the Cann Hall property estate, originally in the parish of Wanstead but later transferred to the Leyton local authority area.
