Saturday, September 20, 1902. — Excursion to Broxbourne. Leader, Mr. S. 
Austin. The party met at Broxbourne Station on the arrival of the 2.15 p.m. 
express from Liverpool Street. Leaving the station, the path through Paul’s 
Nursery was taken — where several interesting plants were observed in flower — to 
the High Road, and then the lane to Broxbournebury. Here a footpath was 
followed skirting the park, to Cock Lane. This was followed to the Roman 
Road, which in turn was taken as far as Goose Green. Tea was partaken of at 
the Green Man Inn, and after tea a footpath was followed through the woods to 
the farm and the Pollards, back to Cock Lane and the field path, &c. , back to the 
station. The fine afternoon contributed very largely to the enjoyment of the 
outing, coupled with the lateness of the season, which gave the country an unusually 
fresh and green appearance for the time of year.
