Borehamwood Shops
This picture is of the shops in Leeming Road and not the main shopping centre in Borehamwood, fondly known as the village. Leeming Road shops are in fact about a mile away from the main town. I would love to see any photos of the "village" if anyone has any.

It was designed by the local firm Leeming and Leeming of Northgate, with a lofty roof supported by richly-decorated ironwork.

The gardens on the banks of the Leam were laid out from the 1830s onwards.
The 1950s proved somewhat of a flat period for the park. 1951 witnessed the scrapping of its bandstand – a £62 repair estimate was deemed too costly, while 1956 saw the removal of its weather station.
