Hoddesdon High Street

New Exhibition – Vanished BuildingsFrom the humble to the grand building, the locality has seen many dwellings demolished, a few of which were of historic importance and many of local interest.
This exhibition runs from 7 March until 30 May 2009 and looks at some of those vanished buildings, from the elegant mansion; the family run shop, to the picturesque cottage.
