Houses in Cupid Green Lane
Being very close to the edge of the development they were intended to look like barn conversions.

Hemel Hempstead - Antique shop
Jordan's Antique Centre, High Street, Old Town, Hemel Hempstead.
The River Gade through Riverside Centre, Hemel Hempstead
A notable addition to the shopping area of Hemel in environmental terms, restoring a section of river channel to a "natural" state and allowing plenty of extra space for peak flows. If it never sees otters or water voles, it at least represents a move away from the standard approach to treating small rivers at the time Hemel Hempstead New Town was built, which was to confine them in hard-surfaced channels or hide them altogether in culverts.
Hemel Hempstead Water Gardens
The River Gade was well-landscaped as part of the development of Hemel Hempstead New Town, with paths, seating and frequent bridges.

Looking downstream. The River Gade was well-landscaped as part of the development of Hemel Hempstead New Town, with paths, seating and frequent bridges. To the right of the picture the dual-level car park, its low wall attractively creeper-covered, contains the scene and screens it from the busy Leighton Buzzard Road on the other side.
Former Practical Driving Test Centre, Hemel Hempstead
Situated in Queensway (B487), this DTC opened on Thursday 18th August 2016 replacing the former DTC at Halfords in London Road, Link. It is adjacent to the fire station and its postcode is HP2 5HA. Update: this DTC closed on Thursday 31st October 2019.
Notice at Entrance to former Driving Test Centre, Hemel Hempstead
This notice is beside the entrance to the DTC in Queensway HP2 5HA. It says the following:
DVSA Driving test candidates entrance.
Press bell and wait.
Update: this DTC closed on Thursday 31st October 2019.
The bell itself is to the left of the notice.
Notice outside former Driving Test Centre, Hemel Hempstead
This notice is fixed above a metal railing outside the DTC in Queensway HP2 5HA. It says the following:
Driving Test Candidates permitted entry.
Park in DVSA marked bays, 10 minutes
before test only.
No practicing at any time.
The notice has the word "practicing" in the last line, but I believe that spelling is incorrect. It should perhaps instead be the word "practising". However, I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. Update: I have now discovered that the word "practicing" is the American equivalent of "practising". Update: this DTC closed on Thursday 31st October 2019.
