Welwyn Garden City, Sweet Briar

Sweetbriar c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This view is from the west side of Sweet Briar looking south down the hill towards Cole Green Lane (out of view). To the left is the entrance to Heronswood School (since closed, now a modern housing area).
I understood that the area was once very wooded, borne out by the many well established trees still lining the road and verge areas. I think my parents occupied our house from new in about 1954 until leaving the area in the early 1970s.
I lived further along Sweet Briar on the west side of the road near a layby (out of view). It was a very pleasant location to grow up in with many friendly folk.
There were lots of grassed spaces to play in too. This scene has not changed greatly to date, other than the inevitable intrusion of the motor car.
