Hertford Through Time
Location and Historical Significance
Located in the heart of the Home Counties, Hertford has retained its identity as the administrative capital of The Shire of Hertford for 1,000 years and yet has managed to remain a small, almost self-sufficient town.
Industry and Architecture
The arable land surrounding Hertford led to the creation of its staple industry of brewing, with mills and maltings dominating the sky-line alongside civic buildings and private homes when many of the early photographs in this book were taken over a century ago.
Photographic Content and Archives
The book contains period photographs, many being published here for the very first time, which have mainly been sourced from Hertford Museum's extensive archive.
Changes Over Time
The contrasting illustrations provide an accessible and interesting way of seeing the extraordinary changes that have taken place in this charming and historic market town over a century or more of evolution, expansion and re-development.
