BANG!
That'll teach me to get an early night.
People banging on my door, neighbours in the street reporting all sorts such as things falling off of shelves as well as the 'explosion' sound...........no smoke, no fire, any ideas?

I was sitting at my desk when it happened - made the whole building shake. It sounded like it came from along North Road towards the station but I could see nothing when I went outside to take a look. Would be interesting to know what it was.

Train running into the buffers at the station? Its happened before, are the road works still happening in North road?

I've heard a lorry hit a few bollards at the old Waters garage but surely that wasn't enough to make homes shake.

Did you find out what it was in the end? I was in Devon at the time.

I remember years ago a train running through the buffers and hanging over the edge.
So anybody knows what happened?

LOL Ewoowar! [:D] No I didn't hear it but am intrigued as to what it might have been.

It was a lorry that blew a tyre on the Eastbound A414 near the Esso garage. It pulled over by Waters garage but didn't hit the bollards, they've been down for months. It certainly was a tremendous house-shaking bang, like an explosion.

Thanks, Rachel.
Perhaps Hertford is just very quiet of an evening.

Certainly my friends who have visited Hertford from other UK towns and cities can't believe how very quiet it is here. They really don't quite believe it's almost silent. I'm used to it now so when I go away I sometimes can't sleep for all the noise [:)]
