How market day looked in Epping 120 years ago (Image: Gary Stone)
120 years separate these two photos of Epping on market day.
In 1253 King Henry III conveyed the right to hold a weekly market in Epping.
Back then, much of the trading was with livestock. This stopped in the early 1960s.
The market still operates today selling a wide range of clothing and household goods.
