London Colney: Napsbury Park: Siding Way
Napsbury Park was the site of the former Napsbury Hospital, formerly called the Middlesex County Mental Hospital, which was built in 1905. Most of these large institutional hospitals had isolation hospital annexes and a railway connection for the transfer of patients and for bringing supplies in. Napsbury was no exception and a siding left the site of the former Napsbury station on the Midland Railway's main line coming down this route towards the Hospital. It was known, unsurprisingly, as the Napsbury Siding, hence the name of today's road. When it was dismantled I do not know but Napsbury station is shown in use, and the siding existing, on the 1940s Ordnance Survey Popular Map.

London Colney: Napsbury Park
In the distance on the left is one of the wards of the former Napsbury Hospital which was called the Middlesex County Lunatic Asylum when it was first built. It has been converted into residences by Crest Nicholson. I think that, looking at the Google Earth images of the site which currently show it before its conversion, the block on the right is new, but built in the style of the existing buildings.
