Basbow Lane
by Willettsworld
This small lane has a few nice 18th century houses. At the far end of the lane is Steps Cottage, arguably the most unusual building in Bishop's Stortford. Triangular in shape and barely six feet wide at its narrowest point, this house appears to have been built to fit the small parcel of land at the bottom of the hill where Basbow Lane and King Street converge.
Bishop's Stortford Museum
by Willettsworld
The Rhodes Museum was established in 1938 in two listed Victorian Buildings, one of which is the birthplace of Cecil Rhodes, Victorian Empire Builder. As such it is a significant local landmark and has national and international links. Today, the Rhodes Museum and Local History Museum have merged to become the Bishop's Stortford Museum. The collections are housed together and provide a new focus on the town's rich local history and unique links with the story of Cecil Rhodes, Empire and Africa.
Open: Mon-Fri 10am-5pm. Sat 10am-4pm. Admission: Seemed to be free when I visited!
