Chigwell: Former Grange Farm house
The Grange on the High Road was one of Chigwell's oldest houses, dating from the 15th century, but it was demolished after a fire in 1939. This building was the estate farm house that was built in the 1880s or 1890s. (It appears on the Ordnance Survey map of 1896 but not on the map of 1882.) It too has been fire damaged and is now sadly derelict and gutted.

Chigwell Grange Gated Community
Thankfully, gated communities are rare in the UK and are usually associated with countries that suffer high levels of violent crime. There are some though, including this housing estate on the outskirts of Chigwell. It was built around 2013 and described by its developers as a 'private gated oasis of forty-three homes, set in and around stunning landscaped gardens, creating a spacious and beautiful environment'. Be that as it may, the high walls and metal gates present an unfriendly and unwelcoming face to the passer-by; perhaps that is the intention. See Image for a view of how this gateway looked in April 2013.

High Road, Chigwell
According to Pevsner, Charles Dickens called Chigwell "such an out of the way rural place". Pevsner goes on to say: "The visitor today is surprised to find it still a real village, the first as one leaves London in a north-east direction." This was written though in the 1950s but Chigwell still has the feel of a village as one heads up the hill away from the underground station towards St Mary's Church.
This view is beyond the old village on the way to Debden or Abridge.

Alongside High Road, Chigwell
The keep left bollard looks slightly out of place and I am not sure what purpose it is serving here. This track with the moss in the middle just leads to an electricity substation.
