Above is a wonderful picture of Epping High Street from c1905 with a man posing for the camera, leaning against the famous water fountain erected in 1887.
On the left can be seen the wrought-iron gates leading to the Archimedean Ironworks owned by the Cottis family who were once the town's largest employer.
Cottis were well known for making agricultural tools and machinery.
