Sandridge Road
1930s housing on what was once an ancient country lane, possibly even of pre-Roman origin.
The wide open verges are historic. Known as the Sandridge Road Wastes, they are strips of common land originally used for resting and grazing animals prior to market, with the right to use them free of charge having been granted following the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. They are now managed by St Albans City Council - see Image for a sign further along the road.
The trees are flowering cherries planted in 1935 in commemoration of George V's Silver Jubilee. They make a striking display in spring when in flower, with the flowering colours being alternately red and white. These represent the colours of the Lancastrians and Yorkists in the War of the Roses, Sandridge Road and the adjacent Bernards Heath being the site of the Second Battle of St Albans in 1461.
