Elstree & Borehamwood railway station

Elstree & Borehamwood is a railway station on the "Thameslink" route between London, St. Albans and Bedford. It is served by suburban trains. The railway is electrified using overhead cables. This image was taken on a bright and sunny early November day. At this time of year, the sun is low in the sky therefore shadows were long.

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.

Borehamwood: All Saints Church

Construction of this Church in Shenley Road began around 1900, when Borehamwood was only a small hamlet. The Church was completed and consecrated in 1910. Its website is here Link
