Hi

Looking at the map, HMS lived within walking distance of ( one of ) a current "chemical company ( GSK )     
They had/have sites all over.     
Obv now different but you never know.

A number of companies ran company bus services to get employees to/from work.     


Why not contact GSK and see what they have?

Don't think GSK  Ware did fertilisers just pharmaceuticals.

Ray,
many thanks for your continuing interest in the career of this man.  Any Ideas about his 1941-1952 time in RAF Intelligence and at Nurnberg War Crimes Trials?

Hertford to Ware is almost 20 miles - very temporary lodgings, as think car needed?

I understand that Hertford to Ware is less than 4 miles. Easy walking distance. My ancestors did it every Sunday to go to church.

Sorry, I meant Royston, not Ware, as that was where markheal had suggested it could be.

Google maps would suggest walking 4 miles takes about an hour, so would a superintendent walk for 2 hours everyday?  Bicycle, yes, on foot, more unlikely.

There was always the omnibus. Probably a good service between Hertford and Ware. Until about five years ago there was a direct bus service between Royston and Hertford as well.

Response from the Hertford Archivist....
"Kelly's Trade Directory for 1937 was checked and there were no Fertiliser manufacturers listed under Hertford "

"We do hold some records for a company that was based in Royston, the Farmers' Manure/Fertilizer Company, covering 1864 – 1973."
