A small estate was being erected on Wicklands Road and they bought number 3. Our next door neighbours were the Duddys, other neighbours were the Porters, the Joyces, the Fergusons, the Richardsons and... [more]

Visits to Wareside 1964 - present
My dad was born at Hillside Cottages in Wareside in 1929 (I think). I remember visiting my Grandmother there up until she moved to Ware round about 1978/9. She lived in the house with the "Hillside Cottages" sign on the front. I remember going to visit every Saturday afternoon. The front garden was a typical cottage garden where I would collect...

I have a sketchy memory of my childhood in Easneye, between the ages of around 3-5 years old. I remember my mother dropping me off and being terrified. She said I was having a holiday but never came back for me. All I can remember of my time was the dormitory, just a row of unfriendly beds, and the "farm" with... [more]

What was at the top of the hill?
At the top of Cats Hill were three large houses, one was called Netherfield House and had been donated by the Booth family to the Salvation Army. My father ran the house as a residential home for 29 gentlemen, and I worked with him for several years. The house now, I believe has been converted into luxury apartments, and I would... [more]

Hertfordshire Photographic Memories
The River 1903 Amid a grove of tall poplars on the banks of the River Stort are the weather- boarded malting mills, which helped to lay the foundation of the town's prosperity following the passing of the Stort Navigation Act of 1768. They were among eighty such enterprises in the county, and much of their product was utilised by the small local breweries, as well as being despatched to London.

The white plastered cottages clustered around the tiny village green and its war memorial date from the 17th century onwards. With its colourful display of carefully tended flowers, spreading chestnut tree and white picket fences, this scene is an archetypal illustration of what most people visualise when thinking of an English country village.
