End of Tenancy Cleaning Aveley RM15

Aveley is one of the not many places in the UK where important evidence of the period that dates back to 200,000 years ago was found. Signs of Neanderthal humans have been discovered in the area, as well as examples of the local flora and fauna of the period. The name derives from the proper name Aelfgyth. In the 11th century, the Domesday Book records this area under three different names Alvithelea, Alvileia, and Alvilea. The name means Aelfgyth’s clearing in the woods. In 1418, the name is recorded as Alvythele. Urban development began after World War II when the population grew. Aveley Interglacial period (around 200, 000 years ago) borrows its name from this East London area.
