Neales Corner, St Albans

There are no firm records saying where Neale's Corner was but records show that the turnpike crossed Bernards Heath - but it would not have entered the Borough of St Albans. This means it must have been close to where the Cricketer's Pub now stands.

The above view is by J H Buckingham and was painted about 1850. It is looking towards St Albans from the location of the Cricketers - and shows a complete absence of houses in what is now the upper end of St Peters Street. It is published in A Window on Victorian St Albans, by Felicity Hebditch and published by St Albans Museums in 1988.
