A country lane on the outskirts of Bishop's Stortford in 1994. Construction of the new housing development has just started.

The view in 2003 shows how what was open countryside is now the St Michael's Mead housing development. The lane is now a no through road.

The black barn has given way to new houses.

Open countryside which is to become the St Michael's Mead housing development.

The field and barn have given way to the housing development and the lane is now for cyclists and pedestrians only, a small tree has survived.

This photo shows a temporary route for construction vehicles at Thorley in 1994. The field with the sheep in it is to become the A1184 by-pass.

The route for construction vehicles has gone but the trees have survived on both the before and after photos. What was a field to the right of the tallest tree is now the A1184 Bishop's Stortford south western by-pass.

This photo (taken in 1994) shows the road from Thorley church.
