Hemel Hempstead: Top of the World
Top of the World is possibly a slight exaggeration in topographical terms given the existence of Mount Everest, and even locally if you walk northwards up Boxted Road from the pub it is distinctly uphill. Nonetheless the other three roads leading away from the Top of the World, Long Chaulden, Warners End Road and Northridge Way, all drop away so perhaps they have a point.

Hemel Hempstead: Parish Church of St Alban, Warners End
Anyone looking at this grid square on the map would see that the church spire was cartographically the most dominant feature. Well, folks, here is said spire, at a lesser height one would guess than the street lamp post.
