St Johns Church tower, seen here in the 1920s, has dominated the skyline of Epping High Street since 1908.
Market Place in the middle distance, has dominated the street scene since the town was given a charter by King Henry III in 1253 giving it permission to hold a market once a week.
The street scene today is filled with cars and tractors!
