The square structure was the water storage tank supplying the railway water troughs, while the tall cylindrical tower adjacent to the down slow line was the water softener tower in which the hard Stevenage water was treated with lime to avoid furring up the boiler pipes in the steam locomotives. It was a dangerous place for us kids to play - no Health and Safety then. :)

This short north-south section had been intended to be what is now Monkswood Way which was eventually sited a few hundred yards to the west. This 'jog' exists to this day. It was also the terminus of London Transport route 392, the first bus service in the new town connecting Monks Wood with the Old Town High St. and the old Stevenage Railway Station in Julians Road.

Norton Green Lane bridge over the East Coast mainline. From this point southwards to approximately opposite Elder Way were Langley Troughs. From these narrow channels of water mounted between the rails, steam locomotives could refill their tenders at speed.
