Potters Bar
High Street
Potters Bar Bus Garage. Now Metroline London Northern. Potter's Bar former LT bus garage, opened 1930 by LGOC, still fairly complete.
Tollgate stood at the junction of the two roads, Great North Road and the road going to Cuffley. A car ran into it in the 1900s, war memorial replaced it. The last of the toll-houses which gave it its name stood at the north end,where the road to Northaw and Cuffley turns off from the northern highway.It lasted until the advent of this century when it was effectively demolished bya runaway car, a product of the new motoring age, which dashed into it.The War Memorial now marks the site.
It is the old north road so 'Green Man' and 'Robin Hood', 1730s
The Grove
The Cottage, eighteenth century
The road is touched with the rural charm which has characterised it sinceBamet and, on descending from Potters Bar into Littleheath, there are stillfields and woods which the spate of building, centred about each station onthe main line, has not yet affected.
