Started work on Saffron Walden yesterday, an Essex market town of about 15,000 people. Completed the town centre (north of George Street) and the north side of the town above Ashdon Road. That's about one third of the town so I think two more trips should do it.

I started the day on the little village of Wendens Ambo, though it was bigger than I thought, and rather short on street name signs. A bit remains to be done on Royston Road east of the station: the village is actually the location of Audley End railway station which has a huge car park, so all that's done now. Then moved on to Littlebury, a medium size village a few km north west of Saffron Walden. The bare bones were there but with errors. Once again a couple of streets with no visible name - frustrating - but otherwise now complete.

Landsat and npe helped my to get the outline of the Audley End Estate and woodland, but I'll need to refine some of this on future visits. Also added the two rail tunnels on the northern approach to Audley End station.

Location: Saffron Walden, Uttlesford, Essex, England, United Kingdom
