Photographs of houses and people

The group started to collect old photographs in 1976 and copies of many of these are deposited with Hitchin Museum in the Helen Hofton Collection. We are very grateful to all the people who have given these photos to enable viewers to see how the village has changed over the last hundred years.

1944  These cottages were badly damaged by a V1 doodlebug flying bomb which fell on Toot Hill in September 1944. The cottages were repaired, but the Race family who lived there had to live in the PI room in the Village Hall for a year.
