Ponders End
Ponders End level crossing, on the Liverpool Street / Cambridge mainline. 1950s photo shows how many workers travelled to and from work. Ponders End station was one of our stops on the Liverpool Street / Hertford East runs.
The level crossing is now closed as is "The Railway" pub next door. (see link) http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...TheRailway.jpg

I started as a Guard from King's Lynn to LST via Ponders, then became an RPI at Bishop Stortford for a while, working this line.

A few years ago I used to go to the gas works where we had a depot.

We bought coke to burn on the fire at home. Sometimes a Saturday morning job for me was to push a big old pram a couple of miles to the "Gas Light & Coke Co" at Ponders End Gasworks to collect one hundredweight of coke priced 3s/6d (seventeen and a half p) Ask a ten year old kid to do that today.
