Viewed from the Hyde Lane pedestrian crossing of the railway, this is the St Albans Abbey branch line, looking in the direction of St Albans. Many years ago this was the site of a railway junction with a short-lived freight line to the former Napsbury station on the Midland Railway about two kilometres to the east. The railway was however closed before the First World War.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The station has no ticket machine as the fares are collected by a travelling conductor on the "flyer" No signals are needed as there is only one train plying to and fro.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Minimalist facilities are available at this station on the St Albans Abbey branch line from Watford Junction. However the elliptical shaped shelter is recent having replaced the more usual box shaped version visible in Jack's image [[37005]] from August 2005. How Wood station is comparatively new, having been opened in 1988 when the line received its overhead electrification. The next station on the line towards St Albans is Park Street which is only 1 kilometre away.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This skew bridge carries the single track branch railway line from Watford Junction to St Albans Abbey over Park Street Lane. The yellow and black edging serves as a warning of the limited clearance to drivers of large vehicles. The height restriction is 13' 9" or 4.19 metres between the two vertical white bars.

Dist:0.6km<br/>My preferred way of titling photographs of roads is the place name followed by the road name. So this is the road named How Wood in the place called How Wood! Anyway 1950s/1960s terraced housing typical of the place, with finely trimmed privet hedges.
