And heading north. I saw a mention of a branch that was built to the

two separate branches that went to almost the same place. No wonder they
went bust.


The London Railway Atlas* says the branch to the north goes to
"Croxley Mill", very near Croxley Green station.


Okay. A bit of digging reveals that this mill was a paper mill, built by a
John Dickinson. Printworks was almost right!

Yes sir. Sorry sir.
