Epping High Street in the 1950s (Image: Gary Stone)
Epping High Street has always been popular, as seen here in the 1950s.
Epping Town has owed much of its development to the position of its main road and its proximity to London.
Through traffic increased significantly in the '60s and '70s until the M11 was built.
Today, the town is as busy as ever.
