St Albans: Former Hill End railway station
The Great Northern Railway opened this station on their St Albans to Hatfield line in 1899 to serve the then new Hertfordshire County Mental Hospital. The station had a couple of sidings on its south side where a mobile home park is now, while a longer siding ran from a point west of the station into the hospital itself in order to deliver coal and other goods. The station closed along with passenger facilities on the rest of the line in 1951.
This is the same view as Barry's Image Photographs published elsewhere on the internet indicate that the railings arrived between 2004 and 2006, no doubt to alleviate some perceived health and safety risk. Meanwhile the platform edge remains unprotected to the unwary pedestrian...
The railway trackbed now forms the Alban Way and a section of National Cycle Network Route 61.

Nearly two years after I took Image things have started to happen. A Notice has appeared!
Hillfield Park is actually Hill End - but history accuracy means nothing to "politically correct" developers who wanted to hide the history in case 0.001% of potential customers might be put off by the name!
