Development site, Nash Mills, Hemel Hempstead
As recently as 2009 this site was covered with industrial buildings and had been for at least 200 years before that. However, the site was sold for residential redevelopment and will, in due course, be used for modern dwellings of the type seen in the background and in this image Image The viewpoint for the photograph seen here was a footbridge so new it isn't yet on the maps.

Nash Mills Wharf, Hemel Hempstead
Until 2006 this was the location of a paper mill that had been in operation on and off since at least the 18th century. After a period of inactivity the site was cleared in 2010 in preparation for redevelopment as:
..."A collection of stylish 1, 2, 3 & 4 bedroom houses and apartments [that] have been designed to complement the beautiful surroundings and blend sympathetically with the traditional vernacular of the area."
...to quote the developers' publicity material.
The development is proceeding although there is still a lot of construction to be done on other parts of the area covered by the original mill buildings Image

Nash Mills Lock and Lock Cottage, Hemel Hempstead
The cottage is in near original condition complete with bay window to enable the lock keeper to keep a lookout for traffic on the nearby Grand Union Canal. The towpath forms part of the Grand Union Canal Walk and is designated as a 'National Trail/Long Distance Route; Recreational route'. Its status is unclear at this point but, further south, it becomes a bridleway.
