The Fire Research Station (9)
View of the Eastern side of the Fire Research Station Site, developed and bought into use in 1978. On the right nearest the camera is the end of the Lecture Theatre, just beyond that is the Publicity/AV/Photography building, and across the centre lies the Clarke building, the major offices and laboratory complex and named after a former Director. The area nearest the camera was part of a private sports ground, the area beyond the Clarke building disused allotments. Beyond the site left of centre is one of the gasholders in Station Road and on the distant far right is Borehamwood's only tower block. Closer views of the Clarke building at Image and Image
The East arm of the present Coleridge Way follows roughly the line of the site road.

Borehamwood: All Saints Church
Construction of this Church in Shenley Road began around 1900, when Borehamwood was only a small hamlet. The Church was completed and consecrated in 1910. Its website is here http://saintnicholas.members.beeb.net/as/index.html
(Note that the parked Mercedes car was being used by someone undertaking a council traffic survey)

The Fire Research Station (12)
A view from the North end of the site looking South-West. The brick wall running left to right of centre is the back of a number of specialist store rooms where hazardous items were kept away from other buildings. On the right of the picture is the original 1935 Furnace Building with a smaller 1970s extension added on.
This area now forms part of Shelley Close and Shakespeare Drive.

Borehamwood: Gasometers
Much of the area to the south of the railway station has been redeveloped for housing in recent years and the gasworks site seems destined to follow. The larger gas holder in the distance has a diameter of about 30 metres, while the nearer one is smaller with a diameter of about 20 metres. The road is, unsurprisingly, Station Road.
