Debden
Debden station, LUL Central Line, looking towards Epping on 1st July 2012. This was opened by the GER as Chigwell Lane in 1865 with the extension of the line from Loughton to Ongar and was first served by tube trains on 25th September 1949 with electrification to Epping. On the same date, it was renamed Debden after the vast new post war LCC estate that grew up in the fields to the north and north-east of Loughton. In 1973, the rather cramped Victorian station entrance (which I remember well as I grew up in Loughton) was replaced by a modern building but the former station house survives, out of view on the left. The canopy over the footbridge also dates from the same time.
