The Great Eastern Railway (GER) reached Chingford Green in 1873 and the current terminus shown here in 1878. However the GER's intention to extend the railway into the heart of Epping Forest to High Beech is evident insofar as the station layout is obviously planned as a through station. That scheme never came to fruition though.
