North Street's old horse trough is now a flower container outside the Register Office

Causeway in the early 1980s before Price Bailey’s building was erected at the corner of Dane Street.

Former buildings of Hughes timberyard are still in use but destined to go when the area is redeveloped.

Between 1901 and 1914 the town’s annual Whit Monday Horse Show took place beneath the Causeway's elm trees.

One of the most appalling ‘modern’ buildings ever erected in Bishop’s Stortford during the early 1970s was that used as offices by Pickfords at No 20/22 Causeway. When the firm moved from the town in the 1980s the premises was bought and thankfully transformed into the more fitting and rather elegant neo-Georgian style building pictured above.

When King George V died in 1936, a platform was erected in the Causeway from which the Lord Lieutenant, accompanied by his officers and many town dignitaries, read the Proclamation to a large crowd.

An open-air swimming pool was constructed in the Causeway in 1924, a gift of Mrs Tresham Gilbey in memory of her father, Sir John Barker.
