More about this scene
Even before the arrival of the railway, Ware was home to a population of rising middle-class entrepreneurs who demanded the most modern housing. The northern end of New Road, with its spacious up-to-date villas, catered for the shop-owners and factory managers. Four churches were built in the 1800s, including the Wesleyan Methodist church of 1838, Christ Church of 1858 and the Catholic Apostolic church; today there are five. At the south end of New Road were shops, stores and businesses, including F Cutmore, sanitary engineer, decorator and undertaker. During the Second World War, Ware escaped most of the bombing; however, a stick of bombs damaged a number of houses on New Road.
