 Hello, thank you for joining me on this lovely winter's afternoon. I'm just out for a walk in Rickman's Wharf, Hertfordshire Walking through a housing estate of well fairly posh houses It looks like you're fairly average, you know nice housing estate you put everything in what on earth I found to make a video on well, it's this road here Spent a walk something that a few houses do up here, which is rather unusual I've never seen this anywhere else in everywhere I've ever been so We'll go up here and I'll show you what that is. So obviously all houses are identified wherever you go Nearly always with numbers some estates. They're identified with names now normally the numbers, you know Especially on the older states Evens on one side or on the other sometimes some the newer coldest actually it goes one two three four five Etc in a circle and obviously, you know most houses display their numbers and To make it easy for the postman and any deliveries. Well, it's down this road. It's The way a few houses, I thought it was just one off when I came along here But I found a few houses like this have chosen to display their numbers, which is unusual I'm impressed by and I think it's really quite cool. Have a look at this number three spent to walk in the hedge They've you know got it in the hedge. It's also been decorated with lights this particular. So that's number three spent to walk grown out of a Caniferous head showing it's quite a cool idea. It's not every house. What would be really quite cool is if Well, maybe not there, but if like if every house had it that would be pretty Amazing and impressive, but it's not every house. It's just a few so number three has it We're working our way up. So it is the odd numbers on this side the road Passing number seven. I can see on the front door. I've got fairly conventional number. Here's number nine. Have a look at this number nine has a Thinking to lay down the eye number nine in the head. So yeah, that's pretty cool as well In fact, it's not just got number nine in the hedge. It's also got To me, that looks like a ball for you. I hope that's what it's meant to be. Is that an Irish heart? I'm not sure and again, or is it a chess piece? I'm not sure it looks to be like a bulkhead rail on a railway But I don't think that's what it's meant to be. Now, what would be cool is if number eleven here had number eleven in the hedge But they haven't so as I said, not every house down here Does it there was at least one more further up here? So what we'll do we'll just keep walking and see how many we find And I just think it's cool and different. I like different things. It might be fairly simple That's obviously, you know required some skill to cut the numbers in that shape. I got out house over there It's got a nice bit of tropery, but I can't see a number on it. That's number 24 Oh my god, they've not got it nor has This one they've got the hedge to do it. So I don't know how how did it come about did someone down this road? I'll cut my number in the hedge and then suddenly Everyone else was like, yeah, that's a good idea. I'm gonna do the same. I don't know. In fact, when we get to here We are no longer in Spencer walk Spencer walk ends here Spencer walk we come into Linwood Heights, so it looks like there's only actually two houses in Spencer walk with it There's one more up here or at least one more that I know about And There's something to find anymore just a bit further on so what I'm gonna do I'm just gonna keep walking a bit further because it's a little way on and I'll show you the other one Okay, so we are now about a hundred yards further up Linwood Drive. I think it's that's number 14 now So we're they were odd numbers on that side But now they're even numbers because it's almost like they're two dead-end roads But you can drive right through and it's here number 12 Also has It's shame number 14 hasn't got it on the other side. Yeah number 12 Linwood Drive has it So they're the ones I know about I am just gonna walk to the end the road just to see if there's any more But I think that will be it So off Linwood Heights, I came to another road called lime tree walk a little dead-end road I'm standing down the end. I'm actually on a on a roundabout and it's yeah I've never seen such a quiet roundabout So quiet I can just walk on to it and last time I did a video I went on to around about look at Lincoln screen now It took about half an hour to get off the roundabout that was in Portugal and that was something completely different But yeah, look at this roundabout so quiet I mean, I'm surprised, you know, they don't even need to put traffic lights and that to you know, even the flow of Cars going around this roundabout and so yeah, right back to unusual house numbers So this is the third road we've come to and there is one more that I know of I've spotted down here So I'll show you that and then I'll probably be it for this video. It's um, yeah been really quite different from my usual It was a bit unplanned. I was just out for a walk ended up making this video So um after today, we'll be back to my usual things railways castles Etc go into interesting historic sites, but the next one well, in fact, we're looking ahead of us There's a quite an array of Tropery and everything in these few houses here, but it's number 14 that Has it's actually slightly differently because all the others came out number 14 goes in And it's on a bush rather than the hedge So that's number 14. It's kind of cut in like an odd sort of They've got the holes in the right place and it has if we have a look. Oh, no, that's not it. So There must be another one somewhere. Oh, no, it was number 14. Yeah, I walked right past it number 14 Then it has to they don't see it from that thing number 14 there and We have another I think number 14 and probably wins the prize for the best tropery in the whole road as it's called lime tree walk I assume that's because well the trees up there are limes beach tree as well That house has got a few rose bushes. I'm sure they'll look really nice. So yeah number 14 So it's got like a bird just there out of tropery and those trees are quite cool So this is the Hartfordshire housing estate Where you have houses and a few more tropery bits there with their numbers I'll be really really impressed if there was one where the whole name was done out tropery That's a challenge for anyone who lives here. Can you grow your name out tropery? And I just think it's really cool I just like things that are different, you know that just make You know something that may seem fairly sort of uneventful an uneventful place like a quiet housing estate like this Seem a bit different Seeing name your house number grown. It's just different and fun and exciting So that's why I thought I'd make this little video today If anyone knows of anywhere else that's got you know, is there a road somewhere where every house has you know the the numbers grown out of tropery or or even any other more Unusual way than you know your average Number sign, I don't know. So yeah, which just comes the end of lime tree walk I can see number 12 Linwood Heights in the distance down there the house that I discovered with this rather different sort of Identification system, I don't suppose the postman has any excuse for giving them the wrong letters at all There's a huge hedge here, but it is just a fairly plain simple hedge with other than being quite tall Nothing on it. So I'm gonna now finish my walk home. I'm not expecting to find anything else quite so unusual I hope you enjoyed this video.
