Bearton

Bearton

Bearton was the name of a small hamlet lying to the North of Hitchin in Hertfordshire, England.

It was incorporated into Hitchin over a century ago, but the name survives in a number of street names - Bearton Road, Bearton Green, Bearton Avenue and Bearton Close. Bearton Lodge, on the corner of Bedford Road and Bearton Road, dates from the early 19th century. In the First World War, it was used as the guard house for the Royal Engineers Signal Depot Camp. It is now in private ownership. Bearton now forms part of Hitchin Bearton ward for the purposes of electing councillors to North Hertfordshire District Council. Bearton Green was the name of a large area of land to the north of Hitchin. The name survives as a 1930s built residential road. Adjacent to Bearton Green is a playing field known locally as St Michael's, as it was once the playing field of St Michael's College. The college itself was on the site now occupied by Hitchin police station.
