More information about Loughton

Introduction Loughton is a town located in the south of the United Kingdom, about 25 miles (40 kilometres) northeast of London, in Essex. The economy of the town, and its population of around 10,000 people, is largely influenced by its central location in the country and its proximity to the capital. As well as being closely connected to major employment markets, Loughton also has some important historical ties that makes it significant in the eyes of the British people. These ties include its relationship with the car industry, finance industry, and motorsport. In this article we will discuss these aspects of the town and its demographic details.

Background The town of Loughton is believed to date back to the early Roman era, though the first official records of the town date back to 1209 and it is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. During the medieval period, much of the early growth of the town was related to the wool industry and later on from the paper making industry. Another important industry in the town's history was that of the railways, with the town having had a railway station since the mid-19th century and also having a freight railway yard that was taken over by London and North Eastern Railway, who also ran a complex network of bus and coach services from Loughton. By the early 20th century, the town had become important enough that the London County Council built a major suburban housing estate in it.

Car Industry Loughton has had a long and varied relationship with the car industry due to its close proximity to London and its strategic advantages as a transport hub. The most significant ties with the car industry are those of Dunlop, a company that was founded in Loughton in 1904 and was the first tyre manufacturer to make tyres in the UK. In addition to Dunlop, several other prominent UK companies such as Austin and Leyland also have production sites in the town. The company most famously associated with the town, however, is perhaps Rolls Royce. The company's world headquarters were in Loughton from 1941 to 1971, during which time the model that later became the Rolls Royce Phantom III was developed and launched.

Finance Industry Loughton has strong ties to the finance industry, too. The town has been a centre for banking since the late 19th century, though its importance increased significantly in the 20th century. The banks that are based in the area include the Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays. Major financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, American Express and HSBC also have branches in the town.

Motorsport Loughton also has a strong relationship with motorsport. The town's long relationship with car companies means that a number of race teams and motor sport events have been held in the area. The most significant of these was the British Touring Car Championship, which was held at Loughton Racetrack in the 1930s and 1940s. The track was later redeveloped as a driver training centre for the British Army.

Demographics As of the 2011 census, the population of Loughton was estimated at 10,076 individuals. The town has a diverse age group, with the population being made up of predominantly young people aged between 16 and 29. The town also has a high percentage of graduates, with nearly 30% having a tertiary degree. The average household income in the area is higher than the national average, and the majority of the population is ethnically White. In terms of religion, most people are Christian, but there are also significant Jewish and Muslim minorities.
