Hatfield Rd (part of the A1057), St Alban's. On the right is Clarence Park https://www.enjoystalbans.com/listing/clarence-park/ , on the left Station Way. The button to be pressed on this crossing requires some dexterity to reach as there is only a tiny gap between it and the railings behind. In fact there isn't actually a crossing here, only a double set of lights (one for cyclists, one for other vehicles). So why is there a pelican-crossing style button on these lights at all?
