Hitchin Race Circuit
![]()
Hitchin Race Circuit is a photo-realistic 3D model of the town centre and some of the other streets that can be played as a computer racing game. (Like Formula 1 racing at Monaco, Silverstone etc) Download it and race against friends or against others online. It's absolute fun to play a computer game and see Hitchin also. Some buildings are now gone and others have changed hands, so added local history too. Find it here http://www.hitchin-circuit.co.uk/ and enjoy.
No commentsHitchin’s Highway Boundary Bricks
This brick indicates the boundary between a private property and the main road (Highway). These were set in to the pavement to show where a person's property boundary was and what they were responible for and what the Hertfordshire County Highways were responsible for too. Not many of these exist anymore and therefore must be preserved for posterity just to show what they looked like and how they operated. This particular example set in the pavement on Queen Street, is outside a building used by the Hertfordshire Theatre Schools as a repository.
