Dist:0.3km north<br/>I remember seeing the tower in the 60s and thinking how futuristic it was and still do today.

Dist:1.1km southeast<br/>Anchor lane forms an extension of the B158 and runs from the A602 Roundabout to Wadesmill. The edge of the wheatfield has been harvested but the bulk of the crop remains. I'm not sure if this has been done as an anti-fire measure or due to shortage of time at the end of the day.

Dist:1.2km southeast<br/>Anchor Lane forms a section of the road leading to Wadesmill and Thundridge from Hertford, and in this square is not near any particular village or hamlet. It is however in Bengeo Rural Civil Parish, hence the title. There is a public house called the Anchor in Wadesmill that can be seen in [[624201]] but I do not know if the pub was named after the road or vice versa.

Dist:1.5km east<br/>Like so many tarmac'd farm roads there is a healthy growth of grass up the middle. The crop on the right awaits harvesting (though the perimeter has been cut). On the left the ground has been tilled and left to the weeds. Whilst checking the map in the car after taking this photo, three large trucks drove down this road; Shame, they would have given some life to the scene.
