Hemel Hempstead: Chaulden House Tower
Now somewhat incongruously enclosed with lock-up garages this tower and the surrounding stable block are all that remains of the former Chaulden House. The purposes of the tower appear to have been multiple. It was evidently a dovecote but there is evidence online to suggest that it was the residence's water tower. It is a Grade II Listed structure and the English Heritage website described it thus:-
"Mid C19 octagonal tower. Flint rubble, red brick quoins and semi-cylindrical angle mouldings. Pyramidal Welsh slated roof with eaves cornice on console angle brackets. Octagonal wooden lantern with colonnettes, weather vane. Pointed arches to doorway, slit windows and dummy windows. Conch shells set in flint rubble above arches, Pointed arched pigeon holes above windows on 3 sides in 3 rows, lowest 3 light, central 2 light, upper 1 light under conch shell. Continuous band of shells below brick frieze. Included as a curiosity."
The stable block is currently in use by the NHS as the Isbister Centre.

This is the Grand Union Canal at Boxmoor near the centre of Hemel Hempstead. Although it looks peaceful, there are some quite busy roads nearby.

Bridge 148, Grand Union Canal
Bridge 148 (counting up from Braunston) carries Old Fishery Lane over the canal. As might be expected in an urban area it has attracted some graffiti.
