Hatfield: Site of the former Nast Hyde Halt
The Hatfield & St Albans Railway opened their line through here, linking the two towns, in 1865. The railway was subsequently absorbed into the Great Northern Railway in 1883, but Nast Hyde Halt was not built until 1910. Passenger services on the railway were an early casualty of the pre-Beeching era of British Railways, closing just 3 years into Nationalization in 1951, with the halt obviously closing at the same time. Freight traffic on the line lingered into the 1960s, and the track was still in use in 1967 as evidenced by Nick Catford's photograph from a similar viewpoint here http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/n/nast_hyde_halt/index1.shtml
Today the route of the railway forms the Alban Way, or the Smallford Trail, and a section of National Cycle Network Route 61.

Nast Hyde Halt
An early casualty of station closures which saw its last passengers way back in 1951.
Derelict for many years, it has since been transformed from this Image into what you see here.
A key figure in the restoration is a local enthusiast Mike the Stationmaster who I met serving tea & coffee here on a summer Sunday afternoon. The old track is now the Alban Way and is well used by walkers, joggers, cyclists, dogs and all the rest.
