    Potters Bar & District Historical Society ___________________________________________________________________________________________ REGD.CHARITY NO.299475 The Newsletter _____________________________________________________________________________________________ SEPTEMBER 2006 VOL. 23 No. 1 COVER PICTURE This is the fourth of a short series of Potters Bar wartime photos taken by Frederick Cole of Barnet, supplied here by Terry Goulding. George Case‟s house, No. 46 Laurel Avenue was bombed on the 26th of February 1941 and totally destroyed. Luckily, George and his mother were next door (pictured here on the right) and survived, although that house was also severely damaged (see his first book, „My Boyhood Days in Potters Bar’ for more details). 1 FROM THE CHAIRMAN To all our Members. Hopefully, by the time you read this we will have some cooler weather to make life more comfortable. I heard a lady from English Water say on the radio that we have had a 100 year drought, and by the width of the cracks in some of the fields (up to 2 inches) I am not surprised! Then again, perhaps we should not wish for too much of a downpour in case we get it! I noticed that the Avenue is being excavated for a 1 metre diameter concrete pipe that is connected to a 5 metre x 10 metre deep flood storage tank on the golf course. The flood tank water will be pumped back to the normal surface drain after any storm. Welcome back to a new season of lectures, which start on Friday the 22nd of September. I hope to see you all then. Terry Goulding NEW MEMBERS We should like to welcome to the Society, Mr.

All the places in the first section below are accessible by Sullivan Buses routes 306 and 398.

I think there are two groups of people who should meet more often. The first group is made up of the residents of care-homes and day-centres, crying out for live music that their home simply cannot afford. The second group is amateur musicians who need a reason to dig out their instrument and practise. These two groups of people often live on the same streets. All that separates them is a spark of inspiration. A simple repertoire of twenty songs or so, using just three or four chords, can be enough to bring joy to a Hello.

    The Story of Potters Bar and South Mimms. Published in 1966. The Geology and Geography of the District '‘The ground itself, where we can read the information it affords is, whether in the account of the Conquest or in that of the settlement of Britain, the fullest and the most certain of documents.” (J. R. Green, The Making of England. 1881.) MANS environment has always had a profound effect upon his life: in primitive conditions his settlements and occupations were alike influenced or even dictated by the shape of the land, the nature of the soil, and its natural vegetation and resources. The Potters Bar district is no exception, for these factors can explain a good deal of our local history. THE MAIN ROCKS Our district lies near the northern edge of the London Basin, a shallow saucer-shaped depression between the Chilterns and the North Downs, which are its up-turned rims. Beneath the familiar clay which comprises nearly all the surface rock lies a thick layer of chalk laid down in the Cretaceous period, over 70 million years ago, when most of England was a moderately deep sea. As Tennyson aptly wrote: There, where the long street roars hath been The stillness of the central sea. This Chalk is exposed near the Barnet By-pass and in the floor of the valley hewn by the Mimmshall Brook where, resting on it, can also be seen a narrow outcrop of the Reading Beds. These early deposits of the Tertiary period are from 30 to 50 feet thick and consist of pale-coloured sands and beds of flint pebbles, locally cemented together to form the famous 'Hertfordshire Puddingstone.
