Hertfordshire memories
Meadow Dell
We moved to Hatfield "new town' from the east end. Went to Howe Dell School and lived on Meadow Dell, off Cavendish Way. It was still a small country town then. Happy Memories. Sue
Old Hatfield
I was employed as an electrician, by a company known as J.Hodge and spent 18 months in Hatfield House re-wiring the East Wing. I knew Old Hatfield intimately as I lived in Hatfield for 20 years. When I went back there in 1995 I was very disappointed to see how this part of the town had been changed and, not for the better in my opinion. Many of the old roads had been altered beyond recognition. Is this progress or what?
Growing up in Hatfield
I was born in Barnet, but we lived on Hatfield Garden Village estate from 1949. My mother still lived there until July last year where she died peacefully in her chair. Over the sixty years I have seen many changes, most of them disappointing. I remember Hatfield Common before they built the shopping precinct in the 1960s. The White Lion pub, Blue Seas fish and chip shop and Dollimore's the greengrocer's shop, Tingey's, Williams Brothers, Mandley and Sparrow. All these shops and pub now sadly gone. The town centre is a mere shadow of its former self. Shame. Brother Alan and I used to spend a lot of time in Hatfield Park, climbing over the old tank that used to be there or walking all the way down to Mill Green and back. We both went to Green Lanes School, which celebrated its 70th birthday last December. I was very glad that I attended. The old building still there but with many additions - a real success story.

Marriage registered in Barnet.

Oakmere
I have found a painting of Oakmere House, Potters Bar dated 1935. I believe the house is now a Beefburger Resaurant. There is a clearer view of the house from across the lake, there is the large pine tree & smaller trees on the right of photp, the trees & bushes on the left have not yet grown. It is an interesting painting relating to a modern photo. I can be contacted on 07752033574 if you are interested.
Oakmere House
I am trying to find out any info on Oakmere house.
Was it a Convelecent/hospice in the 1950's?
I may have had a relative that stayed there in the past and would be grateful for any info.
Oakmere House
As a young boy, together with some of my friends we went fishing in the lower lake and one winter, 1938 or 1939, we went ice skating on the lower lake. In those days I lived in Park Avenue. Also, during the Second World War, Oakmere House held dances. I went to one or two when on leave. I think that the owners of the estate, pre-Second World War, were named Forbes. After the war the park was open to the public.
