Melton Square

Mike Roberts

Melton Square is one of three small pedestrian areas / gardens /squares along a footpath that runs through the houses along Archer Road. The path takes you from the local shopping precinct, "The Oval", in to Stevenage Town Centre. From the name of Archer Road the three Squares have been named after Epsom Derby Winners ridden by the Victorian champion Jockey Frederick J Archer. Archer was Champion Jockey from 1873 to 1886. Melton was the winner of the 1885 Epsom Derby Winner in a time of 2:44. Owned by the 20th Baron Hastings. Trained by Mathew Dawson. Melton Square has a blue theme around the sign for the square and the brickwork around the raised flower beds.
