Follow the “Hertfordshire on the Map” link (above) and zoom in on Watford. There is a pin for Watford Field School with a picture of the school's 1906 football team. The text ends with a link to the relevant page on my web site. If you follow the link you will find my web page contains (top RH corner) a link back to the HistoryPin map. Such an approach will allow people to look in a location and find relevant material elsewhere on the web, and also provide a communal map location service for any web site which wants to relate historical research on Hertfordshire to a specific location.<br /><br />You will also find two other such pages I have set up in the Abbots Langley area, and I have started to prepare some further pins for the Tring area.Chris Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180178794366214284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992381256386825587.post-45576171976773261372014-09-06T16:25:05.898+01:002014-09-06T16:25:05.898+01:00Chris, how does the Heritage Hub differ from Hertf...Chris, how does the Heritage Hub differ from Hertfordshire Memories?Philipnoreply@blogger.com
