Holywell Hill, ST. ALBANS, AL1 1BZ

Buildings on the west side of Holywell Hill. In the centre (with a mock half timbered frontage) is nos 14-16, dating originally from the late 16th century, which is grade II listed - for listing particulars see www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1262802. The remaining buildings are all locally listed.
