Hemel Hempstead: Cherry Tree Lane Flood Reservoir (2)
This is a flood reservoir, so presumably it is normally empty. It is about 180 metres long and about 70 metres wide. The trackbed of the former Hemel Hempstead to Harpenden railway, the Nicky Line, is just beyond the high bank to the right. The local government boundary between the Dacorum and St Albans council areas runs left to right across the middle of the reservoir.

New housing on Cherry Tree Grove, Cupid Green
There appears to be a tax on window space from the look of these.

Hemel Hempstead: Cherry Tree Lane Flood Reservoir (1)
I have called this a flood reservoir as that is how it is described on a map accompanying a local authority housing development document for the area. In the centre is a valve tower while on the right the concrete spillway would allow excess water to flow out in a controlled manner if the reservoir ever filled to capacity.

Hemel Hempstead: The Nicky Line
This is a same view, same viewpoint, same photographer image as
Image] from 2009.
The spelling Nicky appears on a lot of old signage, but Nickey appears to now be the current vogue.

Hemel Hempstead: The Nicky Line
Viewed from
Image this is the trackbed of the dismantled Hemel Hempstead to Harpenden railway (The Nicky Line), completed in 1877. Passenger services ceased in 1947 and the track was lifted in the late 1950s. The trackbed now forms a section of the National Cycle Network Route 57.

Hemel Hempstead: The Nicky Line
The trackbed of the dismantled Hemel Hempstead to Harpenden railway (The Nicky Line) viewed looking through the double arch bridge at Cherry Tree Lane. The route is now a footpath and is also one of the few opened sections of the proposed National Cycle Network Route 57 that will eventually run from Cricklade in Wiltshire to Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire.
