Epping High Street c1900. Credit: Gary Stone This charming photo from c1900 shows a very sleepy Epping High Street complete with horse and cart and some local boys and a pet dog perhaps getting ready to say goodbye to one of their friends. Note that St John s Church is without its tower as this was built from 1907 until 1909.
