EDITORS COMMENTS
"This aerial photograph, taken in July 1964, captures the town centre of Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, England, as it appeared over four decades ago. The image, from the extensive Aerofilms Collection held by Historic England, provides a unique bird's-eye view of the town's urban landscape. At the heart of the composition lies the town centre, a hive of activity with a distinct grid-like pattern of roads and buildings. The layout, a result of post-war town planning, is evident in the orderly arrangement of streets and squares. The town's modern architecture dominates the scene, with sleek, low-rise buildings and expanses of car parks. To the north of the town centre, the Hemel Water Gardens can be seen, a tranquil oasis amidst the urban sprawl. The water gardens, a popular local attraction, are a testament to the town's commitment to creating green spaces for its residents. The gardens, with their winding paths, serene ponds, and lush greenery, offer a stark contrast to the bustling town centre. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the town's development and the planning decisions that shaped its urban landscape. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving such historical records for future generations." © Historic England. Aerofilms C.
