The cap of the windmill Image (now a private house) can be seen over the roof of the mill house. For pictures of the Mill House and Windmill circa 1900, and some historical background, see http://www.hertfordshire-genealogy.co.uk/links/TRING-MILLS.htm

Taken looking across the crossroads where Image] crosses Icknield Way affords a good view of the sail-less Goldfield Mill (see older photo here Image]). Lots of information about this mill and its history here https://tringhistory.tringlocalhistorymuseum.org.uk/Windmills/c_chapter_08.htm

Hidden away at the top of Miswell Lane just before it meets Icknield Way, is Tring's sole remaining Windmill. It has no sails though, and is now a private house.

Weavers Road is a cul-de-sac with three pairs of semi-detached houses on each side. One house has converted the original garage to a room, and built a garage on the side. Most properties on the estate do not have sufficient room for this to happen.

A cul-de-sac off Buckingham Road, with three pairs of semi-detached houses on each side

The houses at the east end of the road were built in the late 1960s and have two basic designs – 3 or 4 bedroom semi-detached – with some being joined to form short terraces.

These houses front onto the footpath that runs from near the centre of Tring to Drayton Beachamp.

When there is a heavy fall of snow priority goes to clearing through roads, especially those with buses, such as Miswell Lane. Only later (after this picture was taken) are house estate roads such as this one cleared by spreading salt. Note the number of parked cars both on the road and on drives. When the estate was first occupied around 1970 most houses only had one car - which was often parked in the garage. Some forty years later many houses have two or more cars and the garage is used as a storage area.

Looking into Buckingham Road from Miswell Lane. The first house form a terrace of 5 even-numbered four bedroomed house. Because of Weavers Road and Anns Close there are no other houses on the right side of the road on the first part of the estate. The garage of No. 10 has been converted to a room and a new garage built alongside. Otherwise the frontages are still comparatively unchanged although the original wooden-framed windows have been replaced with double glazing.
