Hi My husband has been round this area since the late 50's & has heard of both of these. Not sure what it refers to - thinks it might have been a local joke! Penny

Jackie I've never heard of those expressions, but they may have been current when your grandad was younger. I can only imagine they are jokes as there are no salt mines in Tyttenhanger and no docks in Sandridge - tho' I believe there is a Pirate playarea! nell

And whilst I'm about it is there anyone out there of Herts. origin who knows the backgrounds to the expressions "Tyttenhanger Salt Mines" and "Sandridge Docks" - or were they just my grandad's silly sayings. J
