Berners Drive
Road developed in the c.1950s along with the rest of the area off Cottomnill Lane. The houses on the right would appear to be original, but although the area on the left is shown on the 1960 1:10,000 map as having also been built up, with individual detached houses set diagonally to the road, the ones here would appear to be a substituent redevelopment, dating from the late 1970s according to planning documents.
The tower of St Albans Abbey can be seen in the background.

St Albans: Abbotts Avenue
Amongst the motley collection of street furniture on view here the postbox seems to be suffering from advanced psoriasis, Royal Mail Engineering please take note!
As ever "Abbotts" Avenue will generate complaints that it should be "Abbots". Indeed a Google search for "St Albans" and "Abbotts Avenue" currently gets 102 hits while the same combo with "Abbots" gets 844, and the Royal Mail, the Ordnance Survey and Streetmap all have Abbots. However the street name plate on the road has "Abbotts" so "Abbotts" it is!
