Hallsford Bridge, the crossing here is late 18th, before which it was a ford. The present bridge was built by Essex County Council in 1934.
Hallsford Bridge Meadow. The site was Ongar sewage treatment works built in the late 1890s and in use until 1932. It was then returned to grassland and rough grazing. It is now regarded as an area of nature interest. The grassland has occasional Cowslips, and can a small number of Bee Orchids. Because it is near the Roding there are lots of damselflies. There is a big pendunculate oak in the hedgerow
