  • 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.

    THE ALBAN WAY GREENSPACE ACTION PLAN (GAP) 2018 - 2023 Briefing Document for Stakeholder Engagement March 2018 Engagement run by Countryside Management Service on behalf of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. CONTENTS Page 1 Introduction 1 2 Background 2 3 Review of Progress 3 4 Greenspace Action Plan (GAP) 2018-23 4 5 Public engagement and Production Process 5 Consultation Feedback Form 7 1 INTRODUCTION A Greenspace Action Plan (GAP) is in production for the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (WHBC) section of the Alban Way; this briefing document facilitates the first stage of stakeholder engagement for the plan. The GAP will be produced by Countryside Management Service (CMS) in partnership with WHBC, and will cover a 5 year period from 2018 to 2023. The aims and actions will extend the improvements which have been implemented under the GAP for the St Albans District section of the Alban Way. GAPs are map based management plans that give focus and direction to the running and improvement of all types of open space. They provide a clear, logical process to determine the activities that should take place on a site over a stated period of time in order to meet agreed project objectives and core aspirations. It is our intention to hold a structured period of engagement with stakeholders, to ensure all interested parties are fully aware of the plan and how it will be produced. Opportunities to feed into the plan in a constructive and timely way will be promoted locally. This document has been broken down into easy to read sections: Sections 2 and 3 provide background information, historical context and a review of current management operations.
