Welwyn Garden City: Pre-war industrial units on Broadwater Road
Old Ordnance Survey maps currently available online show that there were two blocks of four of these parallel pitched roof industrial units facing onto Broadwater Road before the outbreak of the Second World War, and these two survivors therefore represent part of Welwyn Garden City's industrial heritage. Significantly virtually all the later large factories on the opposite side of the road, including the Shredded Wheat and Roche buildings, are currently disused or have been demolished. These two are currently in use as retail outlets, Topps Tiles occupying the far one.

In contrast with

Broadwater Road is dead straight for about 800 metres so possibly warrants a speed camera...
