This is part five in a series of booklets about the history of Hatfield in Hertfordshire. Part 5 is about the roads and railways and in particular how their existence has affected the development of the town itself. When this series of booklets was published 50 years ago, it was rightly regarded as an exceptionally authoritative and informative work. It has since remained unchallenged as the primary source of reference for anyone interested in the history of Hatfield. Recognising its enduring value, members of Hatfield Local History Society have undertaken this reissue now including a comprehensive index.The complete list of 13 titles can be found in each of the booklets.
