Dist:0.3km north<br/>The photo was taken shortly before the cinema became part of the Cannon chain. It later became MGM, then ABC, and finally EMD before closing in January 2003, following the purchase of the building by the Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. The building remains closed because planning permission to convert the building into a place of worship was refused. It houses the sole remaining original in-theatre Christie cinema organ in the UK.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This is almost certainly the oldest building in Walthamstow. Parts of the church date from the 13th C, although it was partly rebuilt in the 16th C and extensively altered, restored and enlarged in the 18th C. It is constructed of stone, flint and red brick, but the exterior is finished in a cement rendering (dating from immediately after WWII). {Source: plaque in churchyard.}

Dist:0.4km north<br/>The churchyard of St Mary The Virgin, which covers over 3 acres, contains two plague pits: one from the Black Death and one from the Great Plague of 1665. The latter has left its mark in the name of this alley, so-called after the extensive use of vinegar as a preventative against the plague and which was poured into ditches either side of the alley. The exact location of the pit is now unknown, but the name remains. {Source: plaque in churchyard.}
