A terrace of villas along Sandpit Lane, ending in a former corner shop at its junction with Sandridge Road, now an electrical appliance spares shop. They date from around the turn of the 19th/20th Centuries. Prior to the development of this area it was outside the St Albans boundary, and was instead part of Sandridge. The area was absorbed into St Albans when the city boundaries were extended in 1879, but when developed was still known as Sandridge New Town. The houses are locally listed.
