Graveley Pylons

Taken from TL 239 270 between Graveley and Stevenage, this line of pylons is running towards Hitchin, although the one in the foreground seems to morphing into a tree!

Ten Acre Plantation, Graveley

Taken from TL 241 275 looking NE, you can sometimes see deer hopping through the wheat!

Stevenage Old Town

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

Jack Hill

Stevenage Town Centre

The clock tower features a memorial to Lewis Silkin, the Minister for Town and Country Planning.

Robin Hall

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.

Fortuna Close

One of the more modern parts of Stevenage and with some more imaginative building - three storeys!

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.

Robin Hall

Mastercare warehousing

Although this photograph is actually taken (just) from neighbouring TL2526, this warehouse is typical of this industrial estate. Not all are grey and red. Some are grey and another colour!

Robin Hall

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.

Robin Hall

Great Ashby Estate.

This development started about three years ago and is still being built. The empty space to the right will be built on sooner or later. The pylons are of course part of the National Grid. Why on earth are we building houses under these lines?

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.
