The name Station Road dates from 1878 when the railway was extended a short distance from its first Chingford terminus to a new one a little way to the east of this view. The railway transformed Chingford from an obscure rural village firstly into a resort for the masses visiting Epping Forest and then into a desirable commuter town with easy access to the City and development constrained by the forest to the north.
