Chingford
Chingford station at 14.18 on Saturday, 5th October 2024. This station opened in 1878, replacing the original 1873 terminus that was half a mile to the south. It was on a projected extension to High Beech, a popular recreational area in Epping Forest near Loughton but only a few yards beyond the station were built and until the line was electrified in 1960, this served as an engine dock. Its remains were swept away in 1968 to make a new bus station to replace the one half a mile away up a steep hill by the Royal Forest Hotel and, ever since, people wanting to get from the station to the hotel, which is also a pub-restaurant, have had to walk.
