Wheathampstead Station (remains) For 100 years the lifeblood of the village taking produce to London, straw to the hatters in Luton, passengers to work and children on holiday. George Bernard Shaw was its most famous passenger. Elephant dung arrived here from London Zoo to fertilise local crops. Closed in 1965.
