A1(M)

This really is the most interesting feature of this square, and the best thing to come out of Stevenage.

Robin Hall

Scarborough Avenue playground.

Taken from Scarborough Avenue playground, in the distance, past the houses, the Lister Hospital (TL2226) can be seen.

A1(M) from Shangri La

Shangri La is actually the name of the Turkey farm just to the left of the place that the photograph was taken from. Within a moment or two the horse to the left spotted me and decided that I might be a good source of mints.

Hermit of Redcoats at Titmore Green

A well thought of local hostelry and restaurant. I had considered submitting the duck pond the other side of the road but The Hermit is better known.

Cottages in Great Wymondley

These pretty old cottages are smack in the middle of this square in a small village with a lovely pub and (sadly) dried up duck pond. The road through the village is used as a rat run by people travelling between the local towns in the mornings and evenings.

Great Wymondley / Gravely Rd.

This square is devoid of any features (although the OS have marked a"conduit" that is inaccessible to the public). This road runs under the A1(M).

Wymondley House

Wymondley House has been converted into (very nice) apartments.

Ashbrook

Ashbrook is really only a farm (which seems to have found space for a self store facility). This photograph is taken facing north.

Grinders End, Gravely

This photograph is taken from Grinders end looking towards the A1(M) photo for this square. The gantry in the other photo is hidden just behind the bushes on the right.

Lower Titmore Green

This looks like a modern barn conversion to me. Lower Titmore Green consists of about 6 houses.

Wymondley Main Transforming Station

It hums. And there is a telephone mast. And there is a sign that says "Danger of Death".

St Mary's Church Little Wymondley.

Tucked away and up a track, this charming little church needs a bit of money spent on it. Some might need to be spent on soundproofing since it is really close to the main north-south line from Kings Cross.

Wymondley Baptist Church.

Right on the main street through Little Wymondley.

Robin Hall

Little Wymondley - Railway bridge and street.

This used to be the main Stevenage - Hitchin road. There is now a bypass and as a result the village is much quieter. This view is facing west down the street towards the railway bridge.

Wymondley JMI School.

The only school to serve the village. Older children will go into Stevenage or Hitchin from here.

Robin Hall

From the Arch Road bridge.

On the left the slow train in the centre an express and to the right some men working and keeping well away from the trains. This is the main Kings Cross - north line.
