The page before has Ann School Yard on,but I agree the page that Thomas is on is incredibly difficult to read......Staff Dr???

I did try clicking on the district 4 link at the top of the page to read the description of the enumerators district,but as I'm not too familiar with Hatfield it didn't help!

The page before reads:- Arm & Sword Yard - a postcard view is on http://www.hatfield-herts.co.uk/post_tour.html

No real help but could HALS help?

In defence of Ancestry image, provided you are familiar with a capital Q looking like a 2 - its pretty good.  ;)

It wasn't the transcription I thought was inferior on ancestry - it's just that in this case the actual image was clearer on another site.  Different scanning process I suppose  ::)

Sorry Mort29 - just reread your post and realised you WERE talking about the image  :-[  I shouldn't be so quick to type  ::)
