The house that we might have bought.
For a variety of reasons we didn't. This is typical of the houses in Arlesey. Note the light coloured brick. This is made from clay dug locally and turned into bricks by a (largely) italian immigrant workforce near to the village.

Arlesey: High Street garage
Small independent fuel retailers find it difficult to compete against the oil giants and the supermarkets and the small garage here has lost its forecourt dispensing pumps some time ago.

Arlesey: Site of the former Three Counties railway station
The Great Northern Railway was completed through here in 1850 and a station, called Arlesey Siding and named because of the sidings to the nearby brick works, was built here in 1866. With the expansion of the nearby Three Counties Lunatic Asylum the station was renamed Three Counties in 1886. It closed in 1959. Looking at old maps the actual site of the station was about two thirds of the way towards the distant Mill Lane road bridge. This was the site of a fatal railway accident in 1876 when a northbound express passenger train collided with a derailed luggage train.

View from a Peterborough-London train - Site of Three Counties station
Opened in 1866 by the Great Northern Railway, the station closed to passengers in 1959.
For the first 20 years of its existence, it was called 'Arlesey Siding'. Presumably the Victorian marketing people eventually decided that didn't sound very attractive!
