I have added a varied batch of new Hertfordshire views(all with higher resolution images) as follows:
A View of
Batchwood Camp, St Albans, taken by
L. L. Christmas in September 1915. It shows the North Staffordshire Lines, and was in the St Albans area at about the same time as
Briton's Camp (location unknown) was in existence.
I have created a page for four early 20th century pictures of
New Birklands School, St Albans, two of the exterior, one of the dining room, and one of the garden. Three were taken by a London firm of photographers,
Elliott & Fry, who had photographic works in Barnet. The other was taken by
Montiville Evans, of St Albans. I have added details of the schoolthen just called Birklands, in the late 20th century, but have not yet researched it foundation.
Marsworth is on the
Grand Union Canal on the birder with Hertfordshire, and close to
Tring, so of interest despite being in
Buckinghamshire. About a dozen post cards (possibly mostly amateur snapshots from about 1905) appeared recently on ebay and
I purchased a number - some of which are good enough to justify high resolution scanning. As it is always a pity when a contemporary collection like this gets dispersed I have also included reduced sized thumbs to record those I did not win.
