Next time you’re in St Albans, take a moment to look a little closer…
From Tudor-style buildings to the Roman remains scattered across Verulamium Park, history is woven into every corner of the city.
Even in the most unexpected places, like inside @lecreusetuk St Albans. This spot was once part of the former St Albans Prison, which opened in 1867.
Although much of the prison was demolished after closing in 1914, parts of the original structure still remain including features like this door.
It’s these little details that make St Albans so special… where history quietly lives on ✨
Next time you’re browsing, see what you can spot 👀
Just 20 minutes from London by train, the perfect excuse for your next day trip.
