Ickleford: Turnpike Lane and the Clock House
The Clock House forms part of the stable block to the old Ickleford Manor which burnt down in 1911. The clock is dated 1819 and the clock tower is surmounted by a cupola containing a bell. The building is Grade II Listed.
Further up the road the green half-timbered building is Waltham Cottage, another Grade II Listed Building, originally a stable house of the manor.

Ickleford: Pre-Worboys Report road sign
This is a rare survivor, in Hertfordshire at least, of a road direction sign pre-dating the 1964 Worboys Report with its wholesale changes to road signage. It is at a three-way road junction, and presumably at one time had a third arm pointing away down the road from the photographer in the direction of Letchworth and Baldock, that is no longer present.
The blackboard advertises food availability times at Image which is opposite.
The lych gate entrance to Image is visible to the left.

Ickleford: The Old George
The Old George is in fact a reversal of the modern trend of converting pubs into residences because at heart this is a 16th century hall house that was later converted into a public house. It is now a Grade II Listed Building and a Greene King outlet. Not sure which "old" George the pub is named after, except that it was one of the early Hanoverian mob.
