Loughton: Lopping Hall
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 2 Sep 2007
Lopping Hall was opened in 1884 and was paid for by The Corporation of London to compensate the villagers of Loughton for the loss of their traditional rights to lop trees in Epping Forest, rights which were bought out when the management of the forest was taken over by the Corporation in 1878. To the immense credit of the building management, and at a time when these things so often go neglected, the clock in the tower was reading the correct time on all façades. The road in the foreground is Station Road.
