Shortly after the Royal Field Artillery of the 2nd London Division moved into Hemel Hempstead in 1914 work started on building a
wooden camp. The shortest route between the camp and the centre of the town was through a
ford on Gadebridge Lane. In March 1915 my grandfather,
Walter Locke, was borough surveyor, was responsible for building a bridge over the ford which was published by George Day of Hemel Hempstead.
