What was the experience and thoughts of the people in Hemel Hempstead in the 50s and 60s when the new town was built and changed the old market town dramatically?
This animation is inspired by the memories of Hemel Hempstead residents
The animation about the new town added to Hatfield in the 1950s is based on interviews done primarily as a part of the Boom Town oral history recordings. If you listen you will find out how roofs fell off newly built houses in a storm!
In preparation for creating the education pack for Talking New Towns ; Thinking New Towns we have worked with Planet Jump to animate some of the Oral History interviews. Watch the video to find out more about the new towns in the 50s.
