High Road, Loughton
The church-like building with scaffolding is Lopping Hall, whose entrance is on Station Road behind. It was built by the City of London as compensation for the loss of lopping rights in Epping Forest when they took over the forest in 1878.

Loughton 1st railway station (site), Essex
Opened in 1856 by the Eastern Counties Railway, later part of the Great Eastern Railway, as the terminus of the line from London Liverpool Street, this station closed in 1865. It was replaced by one some 500m further south, near the current Underground station, when the line was deviated and extended to Epping and Ongar.
View north east on High Road. The wooden station building frontage was roughly between the café with the red awning and the Lopping Hall (the larger building with the gothic arched windows), before any other buildings existed here. No trace survives.

Lopping Hall
Lopping Hall was opened in 1884 to a design by local architect Edmond Egan, and is one of the most important public buildings in Loughton. It was paid for by the Corporation of London to compensate residents of the then village of Loughton for the loss of traditional rights to lop wood in Epping Forest, rights which were bought out when the management of the Forest was taken over by the Corporation in 1878.
Lopping Hall has a large hall with stage and lighting system. There are also two further rooms, which can be hired for meetings or rehearsals. A licensed bar can be provided for productions or events. The Hall is currently regularly used for rehearsals and performances by two performing art groups: Loughton Amateur Dramatic Society and Loughton Operatic Society. It is the home of the Top Hat School of Dancing, Valley School of Dancing, Footsteps Dance class, Stikki Arts Children’s Art classes and is the regular meeting place for Loughton Camera Club and the 3rd Loughton Brownies. The Hall also accommodates public meetings, adult tap classes, and productions by Oaklands School, Forest Musical Productions and much more.
