Robbery Bottom Lane Part of a Roman Road that connected Welwyn with Ermine Street near Colliers End.  It is probably still the same width as when built.  Much of the route is now bridleways or under the plough.

All messed up and no place to go A delivery of power equipment for Network Rail in Robbery Bottom Lane has gone a bit awry.  The six wheel lorry is unable to climb the incline as the driven wheels are being lifted clear of the ground.  The driver cannot reverse back safely so they will have to wait for assistance.  In the meantime the road is blocked.  Behind is the viaduct carrying the Kings Cross to Edinburgh main line.
