Old 'Hill End' Railway platform, St Albans
Now a cycle and footpath, Alban Way is the route of the old Hatfield to St Albans Railway. This platform was the Hill End station. Photographed looking west. The station was opened in 1899, it served the old Mental Hospital, adjoining to the south. It was closed to passengers in 1951 although freight trains continued until 1964.

St Albans: Former Oaklands College Home Farm campus (2)
Oaklands College was originally the Hertfordshire College of Agriculture and acquired these farm buildings for educational purposes many years ago. The College vacated the site in 2002 and it was sold to George Wimpey who plan to build 38 new houses on it. None of the buildings are listed and they will all be demolished as part of the scheme, so it is perhaps worthwhile to record them before they go. This is the large building in the northern corner of the site.
Update: June 2009. These buildings are still extant, but they are contemporary with, and I suspect now, were originally part of the facilities of the Hertfordshire County Mental Hospital built at Hill End just to the north of this site in 1899.
Update: October 2009. All the buildings on the site have now been demolished.
