Brief Description
The Green has long remained public open space and today, somewhat encroached, it consists of a strip of grass and some trees.
History
Knotts Green was a hamlet along the route between Snaresbrook and Leyton, previously called Low Leyton. The area was rural until it was developed in the C20th. A former resident of the hamlet in the 1880s was Mr Gurney Barclay whose gardens and grounds here were admired and were famous for the observatory he built.
