Description

Hertfordshire Through Time  contains charming period photographs of the towns and villages of one of the most compact of the Home Counties. The contrasting modern colour images provide an accessible and interesting way of seeing the many changes that have taken place in this historic county over decades of evolution, expansion and redevelopment. The book also features extracts from a range of guidebooks and historical publications.

The county today is one of the wealthiest and most sought-after in London’s commuter belt. And yet, despite a massive increase in population, Hertfordshire still boasts a wealth of old buildings in its towns, as well as numerous desirable rural retreats tucked away in picturesque hamlets amid virtually unspoiled countryside.
