I remember the engine being changed at Rickmansworth when we went on
holiday to my grandparents in Kent.

After the end of steam at Rickmansworth the 75?-year old ashpit
burned on for
another ten years, in the same manner as a colliery tip.


Now that I don't remember. Where was it, please?


Down the embankment beside Rickmansworth engine siding. Where else would it be?


I think I can only remember that after it was altered for the electric
trains - several siding on the N. side of the track. However surely it
was still burning when those sidings were enlarged etc.?
