More about this scene
Not to be confused with Old Knebworth (which one recent historian described as 'a village still faintly feudal in character'), the village of Knebworth is a busy commercial centre supplying the needs of the surrounding communities. All the needs of a developing small town are in evidence - the Bedford lorry loaded with builders materials, Charles Love & Son's ironmongery and radio/TV engineer's (right), Lisles petrol station (near right), and further down the road, car sales showrooms as well as the usual high street shops and stores. Within a few years, London Road would become a busy and congested thoroughfare for travellers from the new town at Stevenage (a few miles to the north) and the outskirts of London.
