Graveley Pylons

Taken from TL 239 270 between Graveley and Stevenage, this line of pylons is running towards Hitchin, although the one in the foreground seems to morphing into a tree!

Stevenage Old Town

Old towns suffer from the motor car especially when nose in parking is the rule

Jack Hill

A1(M)

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

Robin Hall

Stevenage Town Centre

The clock tower features a memorial to Lewis Silkin, the Minister for Town and Country Planning.

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.

Warehouse on Crompton Rd

This industrial estate consists of small units and this one could be any of them. A hundred yards behind me when I took this photograph is the A1(M), but you wouldn't know it from here and a couple of hundred yards further than that is an old Roman road.

Wymondley House

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

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.

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.
