The old Loughton Police Station was built in 1860 and stood on the corner of the High Road and Forest Road.
Loughton became part of the Metropolitan Police District in 1840. By 1882 there was an inspector in charge. In 1902 there were a station sergeant, three sergeants and 11 constables.
The station was demolished in 1963 to make way for the station you see today.
