St John's Church on Epping High Street in the 1930s (Image: Gary Stone)
A picture of Epping High Street from the 1930s shows St John’s Church which was built in 1889 on the site of an earlier building.
The tower was completed in 1909.
Today, Epping contends with daily heavy traffic, a far cry from the few vehicles on the roads back then.
