That's the one JenB.  (Can I ask how you send such a link to Rootschat?)

There's a postcard for sale on Ebay of Hitchin Hill, Hitchin.  Although the house on the hill is not shown, I am as sure as I can be it is a definite for our location.  Brownie point to me - PLEASE!!!!

Well done you!!  Was beginning to think this was going to be another No. 12!  ;D ;D ;D  I wonder why Hitchin Hill is notable!  Definitely a brownie point to you…brilliant work Rhododendron and welcome to the Honour Roll!   8) 8) 8)  ;D ;D ;D

Ah, never thought to look for help on Rootschat itself JenB.  Many thanks for drawing my attention to that.

Now I must calm down and go for that walk!

I suspect the photo was taken at the road fork here, where the markings on the map indicate that the road is in a slight cutting.

I believe it's the site now occupied by Milford Lodge, on Hitchin Hill, approaching the Three Moorhens roundabout. You can see a modern lamp post in the right place https://goo.gl/maps/3gd7r
