Pub on Amersham Road. From a distance it looks like it's faced with flint which is traditional in this area, but it's actually chalk rubble, or clunch, a hard type of chalk which was also often used.

De Havilland Court, Penn Street

Business units on the site of former industrial premises. On this site in WW2, components for the De Havilland aircraft company were manufactured as part of the decision to outsource production to various separate locations following a raid which damaged the previous main factory at Hatfield. Airframe parts were taken from here to be assembled in other places making it harder to halt production completely even if one location was damaged.

Structure in the woods

There are quite a few of these stick and branch constructions in the wood. I guess the kids build them. Some are quite solid with big bits of timber. This is one of the more ramshackle ones.
