Dist:0.3km<br/>I am guessing that this is a solar-powered Transco gas pumping station. Behind the solar panel is a group of vent pipes. The structure is in Hawkins Hall Lane near its junction with Watton Road.

Dist:0.4km<br/>As far as Roman Roads go this is a pretty twisted one along much of its length.

Dist:0.7km<br/>Post Office and The Plough Inn. Village life in Datchworth Green - the green, where cricket is played, is just out of shot on the right of the photo.

Dist:0.7km<br/>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.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The small plaque on the post states that it was last known to have been used on 27 July 1665 when two vagabonds were publicly flogged here. (Please note that the true co-ordinates of the post are TL 2687 1825, but that plots in the middle of the road, so I have amended them slightly to fit the mapping better.)
