Stevenage Old Town

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

Fairlands Valley Park

This large lake is used by sailors and fishermen. This photo is taken facing south. To the rear there are two smaller lakes. The park is very popular in the summer.

Silam Rd.

To the right are houses not untypical of Stevenage new town. Looming over Silam Rd is one of a pair of high rise flats close to the town centre.

Robin Hall

Mildmay Road.

These houses were built in a variety of styles. These are not untypical but some of the architectural styles bring their own maintenance problems.

Hampson Park / Pin Green Water Tower.

Although this water tower is right on the edge of this square I have used it because it dominates the locality. The large flat construction on the left, behind the fence, is a covered reservoir. The tower is now bristling with aerials of all sorts.

Weston Rd Cemetery

Although Weston Rd Cemetery takes up a relatively small portion of this square, Stevenage has lots and lots of houses but only two cemeteries.

Scarborough Avenue playground.

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

Robin Hall

Telford Avenue.

On the edge of TL2525.. I wasn't going any further into this estate. I always get lost even though it's not that big by local standards. This estate, in common with others in the area suffers from the increase in car ownership. Parking is awkward, the roads not wide and the layout is twisting.

Trig point at Lonsdale School

I swear that tree was not there when I took the photo. This Trig point is in the playing field of a special needs school caring for 75 children between the ages of 2 and 19 from London, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.
