Summary

[edit]
Description
English: LNWR Cottages at Tring Station, Aldbury. Tring Station was opened in 1837 and as it was in a rural situation cottages were built for railway employees. This picture show the west end of a terrace of Webb standard designed cottages. The Iron Room 1317324 is hidden behind the thick hedge about 60 feet beyond the far end of the cottages,

The cottages are clearly shown in the 1877 Ordnance Survey www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/links/tring-station-1877.htm . And on the opposite side of the road there were 11 allotment-type plots in 1877. These have now been developed to form the Clarke's Spring estate.

The www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/links/tring-station-1877.htm also provides information on the railway employees in 1851 and 1881. The cottages contained staff which might reasonably be expected to be able to read and write - and few of these were local. However many railway labourers lived in Aldbury and lived in the Village.
