In 1960, on the Liverpool Street -- Cambridge main line a little way south of Bishop's Stortford: "swapping-and-switching" name-wise, took place between two stations adjacent to each other on the route. Burnt Mill was renamed Harlow Town -- the station being extensively rebuilt and enlarged at the same time; and Harlow, one station further out of London, was renamed Harlow Mill. These doings in fact made sense -- with a large New Town being developed in the Harlow Area, its centre being nearer to the hitherto Burnt Mill station, than to the hitherto Harlow one -- but a fair number of people not greatly au fait with the development concerned, or with the railways' station-naming habits and customs; found the whole thing a bit bewildering (the role of the suffix "Mill" in this episode, certainly had confusion-potential for the uninitiated). At the time, the humorist Paul Jennings devoted, for one issue, his regular whimsical column in the Observer: to a comical poem on the general theme of how confusing and puzzling all this was -- getting into assorted wacky scenarios of what might conceivably have been happening in the Harlow area, to give rise to this strangeness.
