Harpenden Junction signal box is viewed from Hollybush Lane bridge. This 1957 built box was a standard British railways design with its flat roof complete with a pool of water! Behind the box is the remains of the track leading to Hemel Hempstead referred to as the Nickey Line. The line was in the throes of complete closure as its remaining use to carry flyash to the Hemelite Company at Cupid Green had ceased. Soon the track was removed and the trackbed was acquired by St. Albans District Council and Dacorum Borough Council. It was turned into a cycle and footpath and is now an extremely popular local resource, see.... http://www.nickeyline.org/home/ I visited this spot again in 2023 and took a very similar photograph, see.... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/30041562429/x3-site-harpenden-junction
