Hemel Hempstead: Royal Mail Delivery Office
Presumably all mail with an HP* postcode gets delivered from the Royal Mail's Delivery Office here in Park Lane. The building has distinctive white clad roofs and walls. Although these must have looked brilliant on the architect's drawing board and when the building was first constructed, over time they have attracted a dark green fungal growth which makes the whole building look drab and dirty, far more so in some places on the cladding than is visible here.

Hemel Hempstead Telephone Exchange (1)
Situated on the A414 St Albans Road near the town centre, this TE replaced the former Manual TE, known as Boxmoor, during the mid-1960s. Besides Hemel Hempstead, this TE also serves Great Gaddesden and Water End nearby. Mobile phone aerials can be seen on the roof of this building.

Hemel Hempstead: Paradise
On a gloomy Easter Sunday this unprepossessing road and its little industrial estate might not seem like Paradise, but is! Paradise was once a hamlet on the east side of Hemel, and this road, named Paradise Road then but just Paradise now, led to it.

The former Kodak office block undergoing conversion to living accommodation. The plan is to clad the whole thing in mirror glass and the name chosen for the development is 'Image'. (Kodak reference, Geddit?)
