Heath Road, ST. ALBANS, AL1 4DP

Housing in the mainly late 19th/early 20th Century development of "Sandridge New Town", an area of land between Sandpit Lane and Sandridge Road, originally outside the boundaries of St Albans and in the parish of Sandridge, prior to the extension of the municipal area in 1879, just south of where Boundary Road was laid out. The houses here were built on the site of St Peter's Brickworks, which operated from the area between Heath Road and Walton Street from 1882 to 1899 and which produced many of the bricks used for the early development of the neighbouring roads.

Late Victorian terraced cottages. Prior to the development of this area it was outside the St Albans boundary, and was instead part of Sandridge. The area was absorbed into St Albans when the city boundaries were extended in 1879, but when developed was still known as Sandridge New Town. All the cottages are locally listed.

Maps suggest that Walton Street was one of the later roads to be developed.

These were the earliest houses in the road, shown on the 1898 1:2,500 map, the rest of the houses on this side of the road being built later on the site of St Peter's Brickworks, which operated from the area between Heath Road and Walton Street from 1882 to 1899 and which produced many of the bricks used for the early development of the neighbouring roads. Note the terracotta detail above the pair of doors, a feature which distinguishes this short terrace from those in the rest of the road, even though the general design is otherwise similar (see Image, for example). A similar feature appears on their immediate neighbours in Sandpit Lane - see Image

Most of the housing in the area is terraced - the two nearest buildings at the southern end of Heath Road are an exception.
