This is all that remains of a partially built section of line, which would have extended the Northern Line all the way to Bushey Heath via stations at Elstree South and this location.

M1 Motorway: Junction 4

Viewed looking eastwards from the A5 Watling Street bridge, the flyover carries the A41 over the motorway, with the slip roads between the two visible on either side.

Elstree: Watling Street

The old A5 Watling Street (now the A5183) in the centre of Elstree, viewed looking northwards at the busy junction with the A411. The spire of the Church of St Nicholas is visible in the distance.

Elstree: Beethoven Road...

... and, yes, there is an Elgar Close, and a Delius Close, and a Schubert Road nearby, yet curiously both Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov were snubbed by the street naming panel... Ho hum, anyway, aforesaid Beethoven Road viewed looking eastwards towards Watling Street.

From Deacons Hill

A line of hills lies to the north of London, of which Deacons Hill is one. This has long presented a challenge to those building transport links to the north of the capital. The Roman Road, Watling Street skirts Deacon Hill a mile to the west; the Midland main line tunnels directly underneath and the M1 approaches beside the railway before turning sharply west and crossing at the point chosen by the Romans.

Edgwarebury: Farmland

The very northern edge of built-up London here, where the houses end and the countryside begins. This view was taken looking north westwards from the end of Warrens Shawe Lane. There is a large stream flowing in the bottom of the valley which the Ordnance Survey, for some reason, ignores on both the 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 scale maps.

Edgwarebury: Pasture

Viewed looking north eastwards, the idyllic rural scene is somewhat marred by the noise from the M1 Motorway just beyond the trees at the top of the hill.
