Smallford: Site of the former St Albans Radio Station
This is a repeat view of Stan's Image] and sadly his worst fears about the loss of this building, expressed in the grid square discussion page, have long since come true. The building is gone, and has evidently been gone for some time, and only the pair of coniferous trees at the entrance, the vegetation of which can be glimpsed on either side in Stan's image, remain.

St Albans Radio Station, Smallford
St Albans Radio Station was a point to point radio link run by the Post Office. It was opened in 1926 and closed in the 1960s. It was subsequently used as a GPO/BT testing ground and at the time this picture was taken (July 08) was almost derelict and awaiting redevelopment. It was used secretly in WW2 as a listening station feeding coded messages to Bletchley Park for decryption. It was the first station to intercept German radio teleprinter transmissions which were used for their most secret messages, but using the Colossus computer they were decrypted at Bletchley and were a major influence on the outcome of the war.

Smallford: Fire-damaged East Lodge at Oaklands
Very sadly this little lodge building on East Drive, that dates back to 1877, has recently suffered severe fire damage. Searching the internet for more information the photographer found a recent estate agent's "For sale" brochure indicating that it was being marketed, prior to the fire, but in a derelict state needing complete refurbishment, for £625,000.
