Original site of Sander's siding private request halt, providing direct cross platform entry into the nursery. It was open by 1892, and was closed after 1906, being replaced by the current platform situated beyond the west end of Sander's siding and accessed from the Camp Road-Vanda Crescent footpath when the Salvation Army's Campfield Press staff were granted permission to use it..

Bridge taking the Great Northern/LNER branch from Hatfield to St Albans over Camp Rd. Demolished early 1970s following closure and then removal of the track in 1969. Replaced with a modern footbridge to take the 'Alban Way' foot/cycle path over the road after several years of users having to use steps on each side of the road to come down to road level and climb up again.
