Bragbury End: Bragbury Lane railway bridge This fine skewed bridge dates from the very end of the main railway building era and was built by the Great Northern Railway on their Enfield and Stevenage Loop Line. It is present on the Ordnance Survey map of 1923 but not on the edition of 1899, which gives some clue as to when the railway was built.

Knebworth Primary & Nursery School Take away the flat-roofed extensions at the front and the remaining three gable-ended buildings represent the basic fabric of the school as it was opened in 1912. The central section has an attractive bell tower. The school was built primarily to serve the large increase in population in "new" Knebworth following the opening of the railway station built to serve "old" Knebworth in 1884.

The photo was taken at the end of a wet November Sunday afternoon that was just about to get an awful lot wetter...

Knebworth: St Martin's Church St Martin's was one of the very few religious buildings designed by the eminent architect, Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens (1869-1944). Construction commenced in 1914 and the church was consecrated in the following year. Lutyens insisted that only the best materials were to be used and this is reflected in the quality of the brickwork and the pantiled roof. The church hall just visible to the right is a modern development built in the style of the church. Lutyens' connections with Knebworth came from his marriage to a daughter of the local Lytton family in 1897.
