More about this scene
The centre of Hoddesdon suffered major changes during the 1960s. The Bull was demolished in 1964, and at the same time the Maidenhead Inn was swept away to make way for the Tower Centre, which was opened in 1967. It was never particularly successful, and the main shopping precinct remains rather dingy and damp. The exterior, which appears attractive, modern and bright in 1965, is now looking out of date and tired. It seems that the optimism of the 1960s has given way to a desire to return to the old ways, and the traditional Hoddesdon shops continue to flourish and attract customers from the surrounding villages and communities.
