My Birth Place

I was born in Hemel Hempstead in March of 1957.  My parents came from Portsmouth and County Durham.  They met in London and moved to Hemel Hempstead, which was a new town, in search of good housing, school for my 5 year old sister and work prospects. We lived in Vauxhall Road when I was born. All my memories of Hemel are good ones and I still have family that live there, I still visit often and have seen many changes. It is much more populated now, the town centre Marlowes is the place to be for shopping with the new indoor centre. There is much more to do now, especially for the younger generation, which is a good thing.
