A stormy day in St Albans, Hertfordshire, November 2022
The early 17th century timber framed building on the Market Square on St Albans always looks great, but this sudden burst of sun added to its appeal. I love its high pitched roof, the dormer windows and the casual slant of the second floor. The date 1637 is visible on the side of the building, the first storey windows are 18th century and the ground floor shopfront dates back to around 1900. What history! And it’s worth a look inside too.

English towns always seem so dull in the winter months, I expect that’s why we like the Christmas lights. Or sun! St Albans looks interesting.

Yes, I think many of our towns look better at night during winter. And St Albans is a great place to explore, it is packed with history. And also plenty of good places to eat and drink 🙂
