Marlins Turn, Hemel Hempstead
Following a recent BBC article on Geograph, I've taken the opportunity to upload some frankly rather dull shots of housing estates. ;-) As usual, I was here in a lorry delivering someone's roof, and I took this using the company iPhone during a break from unloading. I don't know where the name comes from, but the old OS map shows this whole area to be farmland and woods, with the intriguing legend "Roman Coins Found" emblazoned across it.

Site of Gadebridge Roman Villa
In 1962 a chance discovery found a Roman villa under the green field in the north west corner of this roundabout. Excavation showed it to have been a spa with a bath, the biggest in Roman Britain after the one at Bath.
The roundabout is the junction between the Leighton Buzzard Road (A4146) and Galley Hill / A4147 Link Road.
