Loughton High Street about 100 years ago (Image: Gary Stone)
A recently discovered photo shows the dramatic changes that have taken place on Loughton High Street over the last 100 years.
The old Methodist Church once sat amongst fine houses and open fields in the village.
With its transformation into a town, the scene today is unrecognisable.
