The Corner shop - Datchworth Green

Looking a bit like a garage that has been converted, the shop sells a wide range of products. The road running through the photo is the Watton Road whilst the road on the right leads to Datchworth and the one on the left goes to Bulls Green and, eventually, Bramfield.

Robbery Bottom Lane

Part of a Roman Road that connected Welwyn with Ermine Street near Colliers End. It is probably still the same width as when built. Much of the route is now bridleways or under the plough.

All messed up and no place to go

A delivery of power equipment for Network Rail in Robbery Bottom Lane has gone a bit awry. The six wheel lorry is unable to climb the incline as the driven wheels are being lifted clear of the ground. The driver cannot reverse back safely so they will have to wait for assistance. In the meantime the road is blocked. Behind is the viaduct carrying the Kings Cross to Edinburgh main line.

Looking towards Welches Farm from the Roman Road. The crops have been harvested and the fields are showing signs of new growth.

Mobile mast on farmland

To the north of Robbery Bottom Road, a mobile phone mast, with its associated equipment, has been sited adjacent to a bridleway. A screen of young trees has been planted to reduce the visual impact in the future.
