It remained like that until shortly after Sunnucks died on January 29, 1953. Upon his son James taking control of the company, he decided to change the name to Rumford Shopping Hall.
His own sons later persuaded him to change it back again. However, that was not an end to the matter. Following an unprecedented number of complaints to the council and newspapers, it was changed back again to Rumford.
Around 1964, the hall was repainted and the same name repositioned onto the canopy fascia, remaining until the early years of the 21st century, when it once again was renamed to Romford.
The building was ultimately demolished around 2011 and has since been replaced with a new shopping hall sporting the name originally conferred upon its predecessor.
In 1890 the Romford cycle works were blighted by a ’flu epidemic that decimated its workforce, and in that same year, it amalgamated with the St Andrew s Cycle Co, assuming this name and with capital of £20,000 in £5 shares.
The Ormonde trademark was later transferred to the St Andrew s Cycle Co and the sales premises of the West London Cycle Stores off Oxford Street were also later amalgamated with it.
In 1896 the company was renamed the New Ormonde Cycle Co.
However, the new company was unable to meet demand levels without further investment. As a result, in February 1897 the company was wound up and a new company, named the Ormonde Cycle Co with a subscription of £100,000 in £1 shares, was set up to acquire the previous businesses.
In Harold Hill, homes in Taunton Road, Barnstable Road and North Hill Drive were badly affected, with some residents asked to be rehoused rather than return to their flooded homes.
On the railways, trains were halted at Gidea Park, due to flooding at Brentwood and line subsidence at Chelmsford. Army lorries conveyed around 2,000 passengers to their destinations with delays up to five hours.
Local farms incurred heavy losses as fields were awash over a significant area. An estimated million pounds worth of agricultural damage had been caused. Livestock was lost and carcasses were found a week later along the banks of rivers, whilst crops that had been gathered were washed away or destroyed.
