Site: Lopping Hall - Station Road (2 memorials)

IG10, Station Road, Lopping Hall

The erection of Lopping Hall, a community building, was funded by the City of London as compensation for the loss of lopping rights. See Epping Forest Act 1878 for the background.

From British History Online: "The hall contained reading and lecture rooms and accommodation for parish meetings. In 1902 it was enlarged at a cost of £1,330 by a new wing of which the upper floor was let to the newly formed urban district council for a council chamber and offices and the lower floor to the Midland Bank Ltd... In 1936 the library was sold. In 1937 further alterations to the hall were made at the cost of the Midland Bank." Supported by the 1915 map, we think that would have been the 3 storey building to the right of the picture (at the green car), with the overhanging mansard, although that feature is probably much more recent.
