We in Loughton owe more than all of us perhaps recognize to an architect who has left his mark strongly impressed on our village. I refer, of course, to Edmond Egan, and I am glad to have the occasion to pay this tribute to his memory. Each year now sees some often undesired change, and one can almost forsee the time when ‘long unlovely streets’ will have replaced almost wholly the green meadows which have hitherto gladdened the eyes and hearts of us Forest-folk. The Forest we shall always have: but a Forest girdled with coal-smoke will not be the same Forest. * * * * * * * * * * WILES & SON, TRINITY PRESS, COLCHESTER.
