Ken Marshall Posts: 804 Joined: 20th Jun 2012 Location: Australia	Posted at 14:20 on 4th January 2015 That's the one, Ruth.Well done. It was probably called that because in the early 16th century there was an estate granted to the cock forester (chief forester) of Enfield Chase.Tourists travelling on the Piccadilly line from Heathrow Airport hear the words"All stations to Cockfosters" and wonder what the word means.Is it about keeping roosters?
