Chingford Hatch and Walthamstow were both suburban areas located in the northeast of London in 1888. Chingford Hatch was a small village that consisted of mainly agricultural land and had a population of just over 3,000 people. Walthamstow, on the other hand, was a more developed area with a population of around 70,000 people.

Walthamstow was known for its industrial factories and was home to a significant number of factory workers. The area also had a thriving market and shopping district, with Walthamstow Market being one of the largest outdoor markets in Europe. The area was also home to several notable landmarks, including the Walthamstow Reservoirs and the William Morris Gallery, which is dedicated to the life and works of the famous artist and designer William Morris.

Chingford Hatch, on the other hand, was known for its rural setting and picturesque landscapes. The area was popular among the upper classes, who built large country houses in the area as weekend retreats. The nearby Epping Forest was also a popular destination for hunting and horse riding.

Overall, Chingford Hatch and Walthamstow were two very different areas of London in 1888. While Walthamstow was a bustling industrial suburb, Chingford Hatch was a rural village with a more affluent population.
