You might be familiar with this village green-like spot, but not recognise it because of something that is there now.
The photo, from Vestry House Museum picture archive, shows Kings Head Hill, Chingford, at a date early in the 20th century.
The road looks as though it might date from before there were any, or many, motor vehicles.
But the real clue to the date is the absence of the war memorial. Here is the same spot in 2019.
Here is a view of the Ridgeway, Chingford, from the 1930s, when the area was hardly built up at all. (Image courtesy of Vestry House Museum picture archive.)
The same view in 2019 shows many houses and flats, and the road appears to have shifted.
