Hemel Hempstead, The Water Gardens c.1963

More about this scene
Mills and rows of cheap housing were swept away during the development of Marlowes in the new town of Hemel Hempstead. The towpaths of the River Gade, which ran behind Marlowes, were converted into quiet riverside walks and pleasure gardens designed by Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe, with fountains and bronze statues; this photograph shows 'Rock and Roll' sculpted by Hubert Yencesse, a French artist, and installed during the summer of 1962. A copy of 'Rock and Roll' was cast in early 1970 and presented to one of the Australian new towns.
