Double White Lines
A Memory of Stanstead Abbotts.
Between July 1966 and December 1970 I was one of the two policemen living in Stanstead. By the time I moved to the village, double white lines had been painted all the way up Cats Hill. I reported a number of car drivers who took a chance and overtook slow moving lorries going up the hill, sometimes narrowly avoiding a collision with a car which was approaching over the brow of the hill. It was a regular occurrence to have to deal with broken down lorries or accidents on the hill, one of which was a hit-and-run fatal accident just two days before Christmas.
