The Robin Hood pub in around 1920. Credit: Gary Stone
Pictured above in around 1920, the Robin Hood pub was built on the Epping New Road in c1865.
A policeman can been seen standing at the crossroads of this notorious black spot for road accidents.
As a result, a roundabout was constructed and the High Beech road was moved further south in 1936.
The old road can still be traced in the forest today.
Use the slider facility below to compare how this picture with how the scene looks today.
