Road sign Cherry Tree Lane.
I was amused by the degree of obscurity given by foliage to the road signs. Does anybody really care??

Hemel Hempstead: Buncefield Oil Storage Depot
Sixteen months after the explosion and fire the work of removing the debris goes on. The standing tank is No. 909 and to the left are the piled up rusting remains of one of the other tanks. What is remarkable is that the tree, despite being so close to the inferno, has survived and fresh greenery is beginning to appear. This photo was taken through the fence on Buncefield Lane which was closed to public access for about a year after the event.

Running along the side of the oil depot which burnt down in 2006. Despite the rural appearance the depot is behind the railings on the right and an industrial estate behind the trees on the left.

Buncefield: Emergency fire water pond (1)
Buncefield Oil Depot has several of these ponds scattered around the site. This one is on Buncefield Lane. Just how effective these ponds were in helping to deal with the disastrous explosion of 11 December 2005 is not known by an ordinary layman. Just over the boundary to the right is the site of the original Buncefield farm from which the oil depot got its name.

Three Cherry Trees Lane
Considerably remodelled, with no trees, after the huge Buncefield oil depot fire in 2005 and in consequence several years of closure. The explosion and initial fires happened to the left, and eventually a large tank to the right also caught fire.

Hemel Hempstead: Buncefield Oil Storage Depot
View taken looking eastwards from Boundary Way, eleven weeks after the explosion on 11 December 2005. One small storage tank is standing but to the right of it are the remains of one of the burnt out larger tanks. The Northgate Information Solutions building, which was devastated by the explosion, was on the site on the left side of the view and has been demolished. Beyond the four concrete bollards the remains of a line of burnt out cars are still in place.
