More about this scene

After the First World War, the former Market Place was congregated here around the 1835 brick clock tower, built on the site of a mediaeval chapel. Looking north into the distance, one can see the oncoming, creeping tide of housing development which now links Hoddesdon, Cheshunt and Broxbourne together.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember in the late 1950s speaking to a Police Constable in Hertford who made the comment, "If I had a pound for every time I'd kicked Harry Webb's a*** off Hoddesdon clock, I'd be a rich man." It didn't stop him taking part in a trip to see Cliff Richard in concert somewhere in London.
