Dist:0.2km<br/>London Country AN113 (MPJ213L) a Leyland Atlantean PDR1A/1 with a 72 seater dual doorway Metro-Cammell body at the Sele Farm terminus of route 310 in brand new condition. A few weeks after this photo was taken the vehicle was transferred from Hertford Garage to Grays Garage. The destination display reads "Hertford Road, Bullsmoor Lane", which is one that was only infrequently used.

Dist:1.1km south<br/>Not the place where Hertingfordbury's geriatric criminal fraternity foregather, but the now disused part dead end section of Thieves Lane. It lost its through traffic when the A414 roundabout was built.

Dist:1.1km west<br/>The B1000 runs between Welwyn Garden City and Hertford, and is seen here, near Panshanger Park, looking towards Hertford. Selebroom Wood is to the left.

Dist:1.2km east<br/>The Hertfordshire Way passes here through one of the arches of the set of bridges and viaducts that take the railway between Hertford and Stevenage over the valley of the River Beane. The old wheels on the right operate a sluice on an offtake from the River Beane that is part of the water supply infrastructure for Hertford.

Dist:1.2km west<br/>Until very recently this used to be rolling parkland with many old oaks. It is now owned by Lafarge Aggregates, who have their SE England HQ here. It seems they have been unable to resist the sand and gravel on their doorstep. This little spinney is the last island of beauty amid the ravaged landscape.
