Knebworth: Former St Albans Boys' Home
Completed in 1914 in the neo-Georgian style favoured for institutional buildings at the time and largely unchanged since, the former Boys' Home is in London Road. It is locally listed by virtue of its relevance to the social history of Knebworth, and some original architectural detail such as its symmetry, narrow sash windows and the main entrance with its hipped roof and projecting brick quoins. It is interesting to consider that such a large dedicated building would have been deemed necessary as late as 1914. It is currently in use as the Stepping Stone Pre-School nursery.

Knebworth: Haygarth
Haygarth is a development of about 70 maisonettes and flats built around 1970 in the grounds of two large former Victorian houses known as Pelham Lodge and Warwick Lodge on London Road. Access to the upper residential properties is unusually via an open metal staircase, some of which are visible in the photo.

Knebworth Primary & Nursery School
Take away the flat-roofed extensions at the front and the remaining three gable-ended buildings represent the basic fabric of the school as it was opened in 1912. The central section has an attractive bell tower. The school was built primarily to serve the large increase in population in "new" Knebworth following the opening of the railway station built to serve "old" Knebworth in 1884.
The photo was taken at the end of a wet November Sunday afternoon that was just about to get an awful lot wetter...

Knebworth from Swangleys Lane
Knebworth. It's where I'm from. I think I've always imagined that heaven probably looks a little bit like this. Not to say I like it, but it has an air of timeless peace about it. Nothing ever changes in Knebworth.

Knebworth: St Thomas More Catholic Church
Located on London Road construction of the church started in 1962. It has a particularly steep pitched roof with the dormer windows visible in the photograph lighting the nave. The engraved glass in the eastern gable end features an image of St Thomas More (1478-1535) himself, while the top of the gable houses the church bell. Internally the church floor slopes down towards the altar enabling good visibility for the whole congregation.
