ANNUAL REPORT.
The geographical area of Chingford may be divided into
two parts, a high plateau gradually ascending from the South
and sinking Westerly by an abrupt decline to the lower portion,
which forms a part of the Lea Valley; it is bounded on the
North by Epping Forest,
Owing to its elevation, its bordering of a wide plain and
extensive forest to the North, and the abrupt escarpment to the
West, the plateau is thoroughly exposed to every purifying air
current, and is distant just 40 miles West from the coast.
