Hi Joanne


Waltham Cross today is just outside Greater London in Hertfordshire though I think historically it was in Essex, but certainly in Hertfordshire from the end of the C19th onwards.

It might be worth contacting Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies and see whether they know.


Would you like me to move your topic to the Hertfordshire board in case anyone with local knowledge there might know more?


Regards

Hi Valda,

Yes could well be that.

Yes please do move my topic, thankyou.

I will see if i can find out anything from the archives, not had much luck so far.

Thankyou

Hi,

Waltham Cross has always been in Hertfordshire . I think the confusion arises because it is somewhat close to the border of Essex (and Middlesex).
