    NICKEY LINE GREENSPACE ACTION PLAN 2019 – 2024 Produced by: On behalf of: OVERVIEW Greenspace Action Plans Greenspace Actions Plans (GAPs) are map-based management plans which specify activities that should take place on a site over a stated period of time; these activities will help to deliver the agreed aspirations which the site managers and stakeholders have identified for that site. Public Engagement Engagement with stakeholders is at the centre of effective management planning on any site. An initial engagement period was held for five weeks in December 2017 and January 2018, to establish core aims and objectives for the site; these are reflected in Section 3. This plan has been produced for a second stage of engagement to enable stakeholders to comment on the proposed management actions for the site. Coordination with St Albans City & District Council As the Nickey Line leaves from Hemel Hempstead towards Redbourn, it crosses into the St Albans District Council (SADC) administrative area. A GAP is already in place for the St Albans section. The programme of works for the Dacorum section has been produced to complement the programme in the St Albans section. A coordinated approach will be taken wherever practical to deliver projects jointly to ensure continuity across the administrative boundary.

  • Hill End Station
    History Trail Point 9 – Hill End Station In 1862 the Hatfield and St Albans Railway Company was formed. In 1865 a link was constructed from the London Road terminus to Abbey Station. There were halts at Sanders (the orchid growers), Hill End, Smallford, Nast Hyde and on to Hatfield. Hill End station was opened on 1st May 1899 to serve the Hertfordshire County Asylum with passengers being set down, on request to the guard. A siding ran south across Hill End Lane, between the houses into the hospital grounds for delivering coal, stores and sometimes patients. The line was poorly used with passenger demand destroyed by the new Midland main line railway to St Albans (City) and was closed to passengers in 1951 and freight traffic in 1964. Mr Truwert recalls how, in the 1950s,” some of the patients from Cell Barnes hospital worked at the nearby station” (Herts Memories/Lost Rails/The Alban Way) Hill End Station 1959 (Courtesy M. Covey-Crump) The station buildings consisted of a wooden parcels office, waiting room and timber office and an iron gents Hill End Halt with footway over tracks between the Hospital and Marconi’s electrical engineering works at loo. Long Acres – late 1950’s. Hospital Pumping Station is the large building in right background. (Source unknown) “Many people will remember Hill End Railway Station which was situated quite near to the hospital, consisting of a single track line operating between St Albans and Hatfield, by which lots of goods were brought to the hospital until the station closed sometime after the war.
