Dist:0.2km<br/>The Bull's Green water tower can just be glimpsed to the right.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This comparatively small water tower and its covered reservoir behind sit in a compound that was once woodland. On Victorian Ordnance Survey maps it was described as Grove Wood but twentieth century versions have the name Cross Path Wood. The 1946 map still shows the wood so this is evidently a post-war construction.

Dist:0.9km<br/>As far as Roman Roads go this is a pretty twisted one along much of its length.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Queen Hoo Lane leads to Queen Hoo Hall seen here [[1560126]]. On the right is Brickground Wood. On the left the old wood has been utilized for residential development. The old Ordnance Survey 6" to the mile maps variously describe it as Chanky's Wood (1884) or Shankey's Wood (1899) or Shankeys Wood (1925).

Dist:0.9km<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:0.9km<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:0.9km<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.
