Church Hill, Loughton, at the turn of the 20th century. Credit: Gary Stone
A tranquil scene at Church Hill, Loughton, at the turn of the 20th century showing the old forge that once stood opposite the junction to Pump Hill.
In the late 1800s, most of the dwellings in Loughton were located along this road, the High Road and Goldings Hill. Beyond that were rolling fields.
How the road looks today
