Walton Street, ST. ALBANS, AL1 4DQ

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.

The plaque on the nearest building, unusual in the road for being a detached house, is inscribed "Cranleigh Cottage".

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.
