Many of Stevenage's churche seem to thrive and this is one of them.

St Mary's Church, Aston

The church is built of flint with stone dressings on the nave and chancel and the roofs are covered with copper.

Footbridge and Ford over River Beane.

"River" is a bit of a grand description for what is little more than a trickle at this point (although other images for this square and the one to the north suggest that it can get pretty wet down here).

Pumping house and cattle crush at Ford across River Beane.

Pumping station on River Beane.

For some reason this trickle known as the River (river?) Beane has a cluster of pumping stations near this spot. The neighbour is Whitehall Pumping Station Number 1. So this must be number 2 then.
