J H Buckingham - "Blue House Hill".

Social History (Museum of St Albans)

Watercolour by J.H.Buckingham showing a view of Bluehouse Hill with a woman and child walking down the road carrying bundles and a man leading a horse-drawn wagon of hay down the side road on the left. The exact location of this view not known. It may be that the buildings on the right are Prae Wood Farm and the turning on the left Bedmond Lane. however, this is a three way corner, whereas the signpost shows a crossroads. The alternative possibility is that the buildings are St Michael's vicarage and the road on the left leads to Gorhambury. However, this is problematic since St Michael's church should be visible behind the trees and Gorhambury Drive further down on the left.
