Former Bus Garage, Hitchin
Taken in September 2007, this photo shows the former bus garage in Fishponds Road SG5 1NP which was originally used by United Counties Omnibus Co Ltd to operate services from Hitchin. Latterly, it had been used by Arriva until it was closed in the mid-2000s with vehicles being transferred to Stevenage nearby. Since then, it has been used as a hand car wash depot then demolished, housing now occupying this site.

The Victoria
At 1 Ickleford Road, Hitchin. The earliest reference of a pub here was in 1864 when it was a beerhouse known as The Cricketers. It became a tied house of The Biggleswade Brewery until 1898 when the assets of that brewery were sold, and is now part of the Greene King empire.

Top Field
The east stands and terraces at Top Field, home of Hitchin Town FC. Note the wooden stands/seats in this area - a feature replicated behind the south goal. The 'Please keep off the pitch' signs are always amusing as the fans shouldn't be there anyway and the players have to go there to warm up prior to the game! The pitch itself looks to be in fine fettle!
Top Field, Hitchin Town's home, is currently (2015) under threat from a supermarket development which would see the club relocated outside of town affecting its links with the local community.
