at Chestnut Walk, Lea Bridge Road around 1900
This pub was present at least by 1846 when it was called the Little Wonder, when the road was called Chestnut Walk. The pub was re-built in 1854 and had been re-named the Chestnut Tree by 1863, probably earlier, when the road was widened to become Lea Bridge Road. In 2005 the pub was re-named again, and is now the Waltham Oak (2006) ** This pub is now permanently closed.
