More about this scene
This is an excellent example of the seemingly inexorable tide of uniform London County Council housing which swept northwards to engulf this former hamlet of Elstree after the Second World War. Just over fifty years earlier, the pioneers of the British film industry had based themselves here because of the better lighting conditions away from London's smoke.
