Pylon and copse
Looking North from TL117043, we see the power lines jump over a little copse. That's pretty much the most significant landmark in the grid square.
The 'Holly Bush' at Potters Crouch
The 'Holly Bush' pub at Potters Crouch: a village of about 4 houses.
And yes, Potters Crouch is its real name - I'm not making it up.
Road from Potters Crouch to Chiswell Green
Looking East from TL123052 with copse on the right, open field and then woods on the left.
Gateway to suburbia
On the Western edge of Chiswell Green, having just left the farmland behind, looking East from TL131045.
St Alban's R.C. Church at St Julians
This church is almost at the southern edge of St Albans.
St Stephen's Church St Albans
This church has sufficient land for car parking which is a boon as the road outside is always busy.
The edge of the town
This view from Bedmond Lane shows the abrupt demarcation between housing estate and farmland.
Shelter at How Wood Station
The station has no ticket machine as the fares are collected by a travelling conductor on the "flyer"
No signals are needed as there is only one train
plying to and fro.
Entrance to Tenterden House off Lye Lane
This is a nursing home but I wonder how the patients cope with the continuous roar of traffic from the M25
The M25 taken from Lye Lane bridge Smug Oak
The Tenterden nursing home is just over on the right of the picture. The brown grass area was to have been a golf course but things went wrong.
Petrol filling station Park Street
This station is visible from the North Orbital Rd
which carries heavy traffic
Park Street Railway Station.
The station is open as this is located on the Flyer
run between St Albans and Watford. So the tickets are issued by a conductor on board
Parked lorry in Noke Lane.
The lorry is unregistered so can be deemed to be
fly tipped rubbish.There is also a semi trailer wedged against it {see left top corner}
Chiswell Green is located at Grid Ref: TL1304 (Lat: 51.72846, Lng: -0.35952637)
