Artist David Perkins will be ‘at work’ during his two day exhibitions at Lowewood Museum in Hoddesdon on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 October.

David Perkins is a British artist who specialises in wildlife subjects painting big game or small mammals and birds. This self-taught artist, working in pencils or oils will be at the exhibition showing how he works.

Cedars Past

Cedars Park, Theobalds Lane, Cheshunt

The Enfield Archaeological Society, working with Broxbourne Council and Lowewood Museum, opened trenches on the south side of the 18th Century Flint Follies on July 12th and 13th during National Archaeology Week. This is the first time in over 40 years that a dig has taken place at Theobalds Palace.

Enfield Archaeological Society hope to reveal evidence of the 17th Century banqueting house, or a 16th Century summerhouse which stood nearby and was built by William Cecil to entertain Queen Elizabeth I.

 Leisure Pool to be demolished

Published 09/07/2008 15:34:00 - Broxbourne

THE popular Lee Valley Leisure Pool in Broxbourne will be demolished after 30 years as a regional attraction.

Pool bosses have announced the facility will shut on September 28.

The cost of improvements needed to bring the centre up to modern standards was the reason given for the closure by its owners, the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority.

Park chiefs now hope to transform the area into a "leisure destination" and are working with Broxbourne Council to draw up a development brief laying out the future of the New Nazeing Road site.

Customers of the pool, which with its wave machine and water canons is unique in the area, have been directed to use other facilities in Hoddesdon and Cheshunt.

The Lee Valley Leisure Pool was first opened in 1978 and had a £4.5m refurbishment in 1998, reopening in 1999. Since this time it has been run on the Authority’s behalf by Leisure Connection Ltd.

Further information about the closure can be found on the Hoddesdon and Broxbourne Mercury website.
