B has a feel of Putney Bridge about it, but I feel that's probably wrong. Maybe Uxbridge?

Inset A3 is the Balkerne Gate in Colchester, I used to work in the building in the background... The insets are or appear to have a potential Roman link?

The inset in D is a Sherman tank - If D is Enfield, then the connection would presumably be the old Royal Ordnance Factory at Enfield.

Correct, but why choose Romford particularly?
|

|

Post by melikepie on Oct 20, 2015 17:09:39 GMT
It can't be because Romford is essntially a town because that also applies to Enfield

Post by stuartroy on Oct 20, 2015 18:49:04 GMT
Is it that Romford is a town, while the ones with stations called "town" aren't actually towns?

Post by melikepie on Oct 20, 2015 19:26:30 GMT
but Enfield Town is a town.

Between the two of you you have it right.
These are all at or between "Town" stations, except for Romford which is a station in a town but not named such
