Reclaimed Field Near East End Green Herts

Looking like the American Prairie with a large sky and baked earth this is a view of a reclaimed field on what was once a quarry. Last year it was sown with wheat and produced a good crop but it lies fallow this year.

Flying Instructors take time out to wash Piper Cherokee G-BCGI at Panshanger Aerodrome. On the right is a massive original hangar whilst the green hangar houses aircraft during maintenance. The white building on the left is the Clubhouse. The trees behind form part of Henry Wood.

A whole array of village amenities are on show - phone box, letter box, church, signpost and telegraph pole. Even traffic cones have been thoughtfully left by the roadside.

WWII flight crew building?

Panshanger was originally built as a decoy airfield for Hatfield. This building appears to date back to 1940 and nature is gradually reclaiming the site beyond the active sections of the airfield.

View towards the B1000 on the road past Panshanger Aerodrome to the A414. The trees hide the large triangular junction with the B1000 at the bottom. The field on the left has been divided into 3 with the lowest part possibly in use as a smallholding.

A crop awaits harvesting - I believe these are oats. In the distance is Birchall.

Cole Green Bypass

The A414 was rerouted to bypass Cole Green and made dual carriageway in 1993. Seen here at the junction with the Panshanger road, looking towards the B195 roundabout, where vehicles can leave the A414 for Cole Green or Birchall and Welwyn Garden City.

Panshanger Junction with A414

View of the A414 from the Panshanger road. A JCB digger has just turned off the dual carriageway. He stopped a short distance further along the road to check his map - obviously on new territory. The house opposite is on the outskirts of Cole Green and is to the north of the original route of the A414 through the centre of the village.
