Cornfields, STEVENAGE, SG2 7RB

One of the more modern parts of Stevenage and with some more imaginative building - three storeys!

Located in the Chells Manor Area of Stevenage. The former Lanterns Lane was once a country lane that was known as a rat run and started at Fairlands Way in Chells Manor and ended in a village near Stevenage called Aston End. There is two sections that were abandoned and converted into footpaths whilst the other two sections are still in use today as Chells Lane and Lanterns Lane. The photographed one above is an abandoned section between The White Way and Gresley Way and was converted into a footpath in the 1980s.

One of the abandoned parts of the country lane Lanterns Lane which became abandoned in the 1980s now converted into a footpath, also the same time it was abandoned Chells Manor was being built.

Located on a footpath between the border of Chells and Chells Manor in Stevenage, Hertfordshire the photo shows two Street Lights one old and one new. The old Street Light (Left) has been disconnected since 2017 and is a Philips MI50 Lantern which was manufactured sometime between the late 1970s to early 1980s making this specific Lantern at least 40 Years Old. The Philips MI50 has a SOX Bulb inside it which would have used to light up a Orange characteristic glow at nighttime, in 2017 the entire footpath of 15 Street Lights were replaced by Urbis Ampera LED Lanterns however this one particular Lantern (Number 13) was not removed when the Urbis Ampera LED one was installed and connected.

This abandoned section of country lane now a footpath section shows the pull over lay-by to the left of the former road where cars would pull into to let traffic get past heading the other direction.
