    2013 Air Quality Progress Report for: Epping Forest District Council In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management Date (June, 2013) Epping Forest District Council Local Authority Fay Rushby Officer Department Public Health Environment & Street Scene Address Epping Forest District Council Civic Offices High Street Epping Essex CM16 4BZ Telephone 01992 564496 e-mail [email protected] Report WK/201214649 Reference number Date June 2013 LAQM Progress Report 2013 Epping Forest District Council Executive Summary Epping Forest District is an attractive, predominantly commuter area on the north eastern edge of London. The air quality in the district is reasonably good. There are two large motorways in the district; the M25 and the M11 however the main source of air pollution in the district is local road traffic with increased concentrations of vehicle emissions related polutants limited to congested high street areas and busy junctions. The District Council has completed all rounds of the review and assessment to date, which led to a number of detailed assessments for nitrogen dioxide. Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) were declared for Epping High Street in 2010, and Bell Vue, Bell Common in 2011. The Epping High Street AQMA was declared solely on the basis of modelling information, but was revoked in 2011 on the completion of diffusion tube monitoring, which confirmed that nitrogen dioxide were below the air quality objective. All other reports judged that it was not necesarry to declare any further AQMA. This Progress Report builds on previous air quality work, and reports on 2012 monitoring data.

  • Thomas Brassey and His Link to Heritage Railways No 3 the Epping
    Thomas Brassey and his link to Heritage Railways No 3 The Epping Ongar Railway The Epping Ongar Railway is a preserved line operating between Ongar, North Weald and and Epping Forest, a distance of 6 miles. The branch line to Ongar was originally built by Thomas Brassey under a contract for the Great Eastern Railway (GER) awarded in August 1862. The line, from Loughton via Epping, a distance of some 11 miles, was built as an extension of the route from London (Stratford) to Loughton previously opened in 1856 by the Eastern Counties Railway. The preserved railway now operates on part of this line. It was built as single- track throughout with intermediate stations at Chigwell Road (now Debden), Theydon Bois, Epping, North Weald and Blake Hall and also included the Cripsey Brook Viaduct near Ongar. The line was opened in April 1865. A number of improvements were subsequently made. The section between Loughton and Epping was doubled in 1893. Following Nationalisation in 1948 the control of the line passed to the London Transport Executive and electrification through to Epping was completed in 1949 becoming part of the Central Line. The single line section between Epping and Ongar was electrified in 1957 although in practice the low-cost upgrade was never adequate to operate through trains and the branch was kept and operated as an isolated shuttle. From the late 1960s passenger numbers along the Epping to Ongar section declined and services were progressively reduced leading to closure in 1994. In 1998 the line was purchased by a private company.

  • CHAPTER 1: *ANTHONY POTTER Page 68 Stondon Massey, Essex
    Stondon Massey, Essex: There was a "Whipple’s Farm" at Stondon Massey (Stondon), Essex that may have been owned or occupied originally by the WHIPPLE0 brothers, MATTHEW WHIPPLE0 (1588 – 1647) and JOHN WHIPPLE0 (1596 – 1669), of Bocking, Essex.19 The Puritan Reverend NATHANIEL WARD0 (1578 – 1652) was rector of Stondon Massey (later known as “St. Peter & St. Paul Church”) from 1626 or 1628 until he was compelled to immigrate to New England in 1634. In 1630 Stondon Massey was located just 16 miles northeast of London in southwest Essex County and was only 20 miles from Bocking. [Note: Today Stondon Massey is a suburb of London. It is just 4 miles north of Brentwood half way to Chipping Ongar up route A128. Brentwood is on the northeast side of London just outside motorway M25, the beltway around London. In August 1594, MATTHEW WHIPPLE-1 (ca. 1560 – 1619) was one of eleven witnesses in the court session at Brentwood where seven defendants were brought from Colchester prison to stand trial.] Interestingly, Stondon Massey was only eight (8) miles east of Theydon Garnon, Epping, Essex where STEPHEN CLARKE-1 (1566 – 1610) and his family lived, which may have included *JOANNA CLARK POTTER0, the possible mother of *ANTHONY POTTER1 (ca. 1628 – 1690). Also, this may explain how JOHN WHIPPLE0 (1596 – 1669) met his first wife, SUSANNA CLARKE WHIPPLE0 (ca. 1594 – before 1634), and why they married in nearby London, England. [Note: Today Theydon Garnon, Epping, Essex is a suburb of London. It is located on the northeast side of London on motorway M11 just north of the junction of motorways M11 and M25.
