I'm a volunteer at the museum and have only just seen this video- big thanks to Samuel for this lovely and informative film!

You are very welcome and thank you for volunteering at such a great place of Heritage! :)

@@SamuelBrunelElliott ... Cheers.! and... I can't help wondering, do you have a family connection to Romford, Essex?!

[@SamuelBrunelElliott]

@@alanelli0tt22 I don't sadly. I happened to just be visiting London and wanted to go and check the place out as anything Industrial or Victorian/Edwardian fascinates me and is a topic I adore.

I asked because my dad's family live (or lived) in Romford, and your face is not too different to mine at your age- I thought there was slim chance we could be related! Cheers, and keep up the good work...

I thought a few days ago that I hadn’t seen a video from you in a while, and now here it is! Good bit of history, thank you.

Are you parting your hair to the other side nowadays? The only other time I had ever heard of Tottenham was when Catherine Tate's posh family characters take a wrong turn and end up there. Is the engine running at standard speed in the footage of it turning?
