The English Heritage Listed Building website describes them as follows:- "Red brick in English-bond with a long steep old red tiled roof. A single storey row of 3 handed pairs of almshouses facing NW. Each pair has 2 plank doors together, in a heavy chamfered wooden frame, a 3-light ovolo-moulded casement window with ironcentral opening light for each house, a gable over the door with a single small 2-light ovolo-moulded window with leaded lattice glazing, and a shared central chimney with a pair of diagonally set shafts. Toothed corbel course below the eaves and low plastered plinth. Modern single-storey small additions at rear and each end. Red brick wall around elongated forecourt garden, taller at ends, reduced at front but with heavy sloped brick coping reinstated. Square gatepiers with stone caps and C20 wrought iron gate. A landmark at a bend in the road at the S end of the village." The Listed Buildings website also describes them as The Baish Almshouses.

This signal box closed at the same time as the ones at Hertford East and Ware when control of the signalling on the Hertford East branch was centralised at Liverpool Street Station as part of the West Anglia Route Modernisation Scheme (often known simply as WARM).

Dist:0.6km<br/>The New River is something of a misnomer since it is neither a river nor new. It is an aqueduct built under the direction of Sir Hugh Myddleton between 1607 and 1612 to bring fresh drinking water from Chadwell and Amwell Springs near Ware about 40 miles down the Lee Valley to London. http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=438 for further information.
