Dist:0.4km north<br/>View across farmland. Foreground farm equipment draws the eye towards the farm in the distance. Between, in a cutting, runs the new A10, bypassing wadesmill, High Cross and Colliers End.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This building, which bears a date of 1862, appears to be a village hall - despite the bell on the roof. The village church is further down the road. If anyone has further info - please let me know!

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Small brick built church with small lych gate.

Dist:0.5km north<br/>Looking along the old A10 - now deserted following the opening of the bypass. A mixture of housing and the local garage. How long the garage will survive remains to be seen. The village church and pub are hidden behind the houses on the left.

Dist:0.7km north<br/>Connecting with the well known Roman Road, Ermine Street, to the north of Colliers End, this road seems to have routed through the current settlements of Sacombe Green and Watton to Welwyn. On the map as Rigery Lane, this is a byway open to all traffic, but I think you'd be hard pushed to use anything other than two feet here!

Dist:0.8km north<br/>Shop selling craft artifacts and sculptures on Ermine Street, just to the North of Colliers End. Don't know if there was a Fox and Hounds pub here, though the sign is clearly of pub origin. Unfortunately, the shop was closed at the time of my visit.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>Outside a small shop selling craft artifacts on Ermine Street, to the north of Colliers End. Please see other photos for this square.

Dist:0.8km north<br/>An isolated group of houses on the old Roman Road, to the North of Colliers End, at the site of the onetime junction with Rigery Lane - also a Roman Road. Amazingly, this was the A10, now bypassed and devoid of traffic - it has been downgraded to a C road.

Dist:0.8km south<br/>Looking west along Gore lane from the public bridleway to Latchford. The bridge carries the A10. A footpath to Colliers End cuts across the fields from here also.

Dist:1.1km southwest<br/>View across a field of wheat towards Sutes Wood from the junction of Gore Lane and Ermine Street, previously the A10. The new A10 (High Cross Bypass) is visible passing just in front of the wood and across a culvert in the left middle distance. The stream passing through the culvert becomes the Barwick Tributary of the River Rib.

Dist:1.1km southwest<br/>Victim of the bypass. EuroCommercials yard, now empty, was once full of secondhand vehicles for sale. The reduced traffic along Ermine Street has led to reduced trade. Housing is already being built on the site of another car dealership at the south end of High Cross. Presumably EuroCommercials awaits a similar fate.
