South Woodham Ferrers is a town and civil parish in the borough of Chelmsford, in the English county of Essex. It is approximately 35 miles (56 km) east of London and 8 miles (13 km) south-east of the city of Chelmsford, and had a population of 16,453 at the 2011 Census, a decrease from 16,629 at the 2001 Census. The town is situated east of Fenn Creek, near to where it meets the River Crouch. South Woodham Ferrers is part of the Maldon constituency represented by John Whittingdale MP. The area now occupied by South Woodham Ferrers was sparsely populated farmland until the railway station opened in 1889. The station was originally called "Woodham Ferris", having been built to serve the nearby village of Woodham Ferrers, which stands on a hill 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the station. South Woodham Ferrers developed gradually around the station, with some of the farmland being parcelled up into plots for sale to individuals and developers. In 1974 Essex County Council adopted a masterplan to significantly expand South Woodham Ferrers with large housing estates and other facilities, including a new town centre. More information...
