Ponders End: Gasworks
This is one of three gasometers on the Woodall Road gas works site, and they are each large enough to justify being shown individually on the Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 scale mapping. The 1882 Ordnance Survey map shows a gasworks and a single gasometer more or less in this same location, but nearer the railway.

Ponders End: The former Railway Hotel
The railway through Ponders End was constructed in 1840, and this hotel next to the station on South Street followed shortly afterwards in 1841. The 1940s OS map shows the A110 road crossing the railway by a level crossing here, so the trade from the railway and the road must have been reasonable. However the road crossing has gone to be replaced by the Lea Valley Road bridge to the north, and the hotel itself is now closed and in a dilapidated vandalized state. The tablets either side of "The Railway" nameplate read "Watney Combe Reid", a reminder of a brewery that ceased to exist as long ago as 1958 when it merged with another concern to become Watney Mann.
Update October 2018
Reviewing Streetview imagery it is evident that the building had been demolished by November 2009, but the site was then unchanged up to September 2015.

Tower blocks at Ponders End
These tower blocks totally dominate the area to the west of Ponders End station, although judging by a nearby poster Enfield Council has big plans for the area. This looks across South Street.
