Hertfordshire memories
First Love
These are the cottages where my first "love" lived her name was Barbara and I had a school boy crush on this lovely young lady in my early teens.
I also fell off my bike just round the corner of this bridge and grazed my knee!
Gossoms End Berkhampstead
I was adopted by a Mr & Mrs Cater who owned a General Store at 27 Gossoms End, Berkhampsted. I have fond memories of my childhood freedom and playing in the area, including many hours on the Grand Union Canal either fishing or jumping on and off the barges. I went to the prep school of Berkhampstead Grammar and spent a short time at the senior school before the family moved to North London. The demise of the family business was brought on by the arrival of the first supermarket in Berkhampsted High Street.

Do You Remember The Ward Family 'Blacksmiths' in Markyate
I believe that my Great Grandfather, Henry Herbert Ward had a Blacksmith's business in Markyate in the 30's / 40's. My Grandfathers name was Ernest Ward born 1910 and I believe he had a brother. Edward who married Betty?
I would be extremley grateful for any informtion on my relatives.
Thank you
Annette Ward
Old Hemel
The old High Street, before Marlowes Town Centre was built.
Shell Mex And BP Computer Centre
First started work at Hemel in November 1963. Following a spell at the Manchester Data Centre I returned in 1968 and remained until Brand Separation in 1974. We are now holding a reunion in July for anyone who worked for SMBP in either Data Centre.
Sad to learn that the building was demolished in the eighties.
Great fun was had watching the antics of the drivers coping with the magic roundabout.
The Pavilion.
Oh the memories of many, many brilliant gigs back in the 70s & 80s. In fact, so many I am in the process of putting together a book entitled The Pavilion Rock Years. I am keen to hear from anyone with memories of gigs/concerts they attended there between 1966 and 2002 (I certainly wasn't at every one!). If you have any anecdotes, good, bad, funny stories to tell, please don't hesitate to contact me at perpar75@btinternet.com
Many thanks,
Neil.
