Behind some lovely 1930s flats off Hollow Lane by Windmill Hill in Hitchin, is an unloved and unwanted wicker Lloyd Loom type chair. Now forgotton, it sits covered in leaves, in weeds and next to some holly and ivy. How hauntingly beautiful. A serendipitous find on my walk home from a good day at work.

In a tiny little bit of Hitchin off Biggin Lane by the actual Biggin, lies a petite semi-secluded park, known as the Seebohm Garden. It is only occasionally used by one or two older Sikh men drinking strong lager away from prying eyes, other times by teenagers/school children hanging around; at other times it's also used by elderly people to have a rest from their heavy shopping bags, before carrying on home. This bit on the photograph above, shows the ivy creeping up the concrete steps that lead down from Biggin Lane to this little utilised green space. A nice quiet area used for some respite away from the madness and hectic pace of life in the modern world.

At the bottom left of Windmill Hill, was a public convenience and a telephone kiosk. These were still there up to the 1970s. By the 1980s they had been demolished. The gaps that were left behind are still there and not filled in. These two photographs illustrate the area that was once the Gentlemen's WC; leaving behind the wonderful glazed tiles and ivy. The Telephone Kiosk area is just to the right of this.
