Dist:0.4km<br/>The A414 was rerouted to bypass Cole Green and made dual carriageway in 1993. Seen here at the junction with the Panshanger road, looking towards the B195 roundabout, where vehicles can leave the A414 for Cole Green or Birchall and Welwyn Garden City.

Dist:0.4km<br/>View of the A414 from the Panshanger road. A JCB digger has just turned off the dual carriageway. He stopped a short distance further along the road to check his map - obviously on new territory. The house opposite is on the outskirts of Cole Green and is to the north of the original route of the A414 through the centre of the village.

Dist:1.1km east<br/>A disused railway line, like many others now part of the National Cycle Network. The disused station platform is shown in [[7775]]. Given the 5 years that have elapsed between the two pictures and the tendency of routes like this to become overgrown very quickly, it is a tribute to Sustrans rangers that they have kept it clear.

Dist:1.1km east<br/>Situated in Station Road, Letty Green, this former station was on the railway line between Hertford (North) and Welwyn Garden City which closed for passenger service in June, 1951. Following complete closure on the 1st August, 1962, the track was lifted in July, 1967. The station building has since been demolished and the area is now a car park for the Cole Green Way, which is part of the Lea Valley Walk. The postcode of the site is SG14 2NS.

Dist:1.1km east<br/>Part of the former station site (see [[7775]]), the picnic site is shown on O.S. maps but the dense tree cover makes it invisible on aerial mapping.

Dist:1.2km north<br/>Panshanger was originally built as a decoy airfield for Hatfield. This building appears to date back to 1940 and nature is gradually reclaiming the site beyond the active sections of the airfield.

Dist:1.3km north<br/>Panshanger was created during World War II as a decoy airfield, complete with mock-up aircraft and dummy buildings, to divert German bombers away from Hatfield. Later on during the war it did become a proper RAF airfield, turning over to civilian use in the 1950s. Today it is one of the only two licensed civilian aerodromes remaining in Hertfordshire, the other being [[89376]], and is the home of the North London Flying School. The main grass runway is 875 metres long. This is the entrance with Henry Wood, famous for his promenade concerts, on the left.
