Loughton, Essex Giclée Art Print

Original art print of Loughton, a town in the Epping Forest District of Essex, close to Waltham Abbey. Historically a small village, the arrival of the high road in the 17th century saw Loughton begin to grow into an important stop for travellers between London and East Anglia, a process which was accelerated in the 19th century with the arrival of the Eastern Counties Railway (later the Great Eastern Railway). Today Loughton is home to around 35,000 people.

Depicted in this illustration is Loughton station, which sits on the Central Line of the London Underground between Buckhurst Hill and Debden. Loughton's first station was opened in 1856, with a replacement being opened soon after in 1865. The station was rebuilt in the 1930s as part of LNER's 'New Works Programme', re-opening in 1940. The station was designed by John Murray Easton, who designed the now-iconic art deco building with a large arched window. Loughton station had been intended to serve as a model for the rebuilding of further stations, but these plans fell by the wayside due to the Second World War. Today, the station is something of an oddity on the line, and is Grade II listed.
