St Albans: Beaumont Works, Sutton Road
Beaumont Works was built in the early part of the twentieth century as a clothing factory, nowadays it is in use as a multi-occupancy business centre. The attractive Dutch gable façade, with its buff tablets with the initials N & C, is Grade II listed and is on Sutton Road.

St Albans: Former railway crossing at Sutton Road
The Hatfield and St Albans Railway was completed in 1865 and was taken over by the Great Northern Railway in 1883. It was a very early casualty of British Railways' days being closed to passenger traffic in 1951. Freight services lingered on until 1964. This is the point at which the railway crossed Sutton Road with the raised grassy bank on the right being on the former track bed. The trackbed itself is now a public path known as the Alban Way and it also forms a section of National Cycle Network Route 61 as the sign on the right bears witness.

St Albans: The Rats Castle, Fleetville
The Rats Castle is on Hatfield Road at its junction with Sutton Road from which this image was taken. The Rats Castle is not a unique name for a pub, a Google search revealing another in Guildford, and a restaurant in Faringdon in Oxfordshire. The alignment of the gable end walls in the photo appears to show some distortion in the photograph, but this is the true arrangement, the flank wall visible to the right being parallel with the Hatfield Road frontage out of sight around the corner in the distance.
