Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Once the railway line through Ware had been electrified in 1960 speculative developers wasted little time buying up farm land to the north of the town and covering it with characterless housing estates like this one. This view is taken in Kingsway.
The houses here were constructed by a speculative builder based in Waltham Cross with the appropriate name of Leach. They originally sold for about £3,500 each and now change hands for over £250,000.
The title for this shot comes from a satirical 1960s song by Pete Seeger.

Kingsway from its junction with Heath Drive
One of the tedious 1960s housing estates to the north of Ware. The drab landscape perhaps emphasises why there are so few photos taken in this square.

Ware: The Bourne
A bourne is an intermittent stream that only flows when the level of the water table in the ground reaches the surface or when there has been sufficient rainfall to saturate the surrounding land. Most have prefixed names such as "Winter Bourne", but this one is just The Bourne, and the watercourse only runs for a couple of kilometres before joining the River Lee in Ware. At the end of October 2010 the stream bed was totally dry.
Here a footbridge takes the path between Milton Road and Southall Close across the dry stream bed.

It runs here in an incised wooded valley that is quite deep, about 5 metres, compared to the reach just a couple of hundred metres further upstream Image
