More about this scene
The cottages were threatened with destruction shortly after this photograph was taken, but popular opinion prevailed and they were saved. The Hertfordshire Building Preservation Trust, in collaboration with Hertfordshire County Council, carried out a major restoration in the 1960s, and they now stand proudly as a memorial to what might have been lost. Almost opposite Foresters Cottages is the headquarters of the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain, and members' cars often visit the village. Spring afternoons provide a fine sight as some of these elderly 'ladies and gentlemen' parade through the streets and lanes.
