EAW007155 ENGLAND (1947). The LNER line at the Brimsdown industrial estate and environs, Brimsdown, 1947

Thank you. A fantastic knowledge of local geography.

I'd need to see an image that covered a bit further south but I think that that footpath/alley ran alongside Berkel's factory and linked with Suez Road which then connected with Duck Lees Lane.



Can you help me get the geographical head on?

Hi Jackie B.

Yes you are right this footpath did run from Jute Lane through to Suez Rd. It was the only way to get from Ponders End to Brimsdown other than cutting through Durante Park, a much longer way around. In the late 50s Thorns in Mill Marsh lane built a private road connecting Mill Marsh to Suez Rd giving access for their own lorry’s to Lea Valley Rd. Over the years that road became what it is today, “The North South Route”.

Again in the late 50s the nurseries were cleared and Alma Rd at Ponders End was connected to Alma Rd at Green Street.

Take a look at Plates: - EAW005270, EAW003030, EAW003029 and EPW008038. With these plates you should get your bearings.
