Forest Road, Staples Road (or Shaftesbury), Loughton

Time Travel
In the 80s it was already impossible to take a picture in the same place as the original because so much of the forest has grown up with the abolishment of lopping rights.   Today we experience the forest as a world of large ancient trees,  but back in the 19th century most of the forest consisted of stubby trees that had been lopped by the people of Loughton.
