Library Downsizing - Books on Old Hertfordshire Buildings

See me on ebay

As part of my "downsizing" exercise I am getting rid of a series of books, produced circa 1980, listing buildings of special architectural or historical interest. Each volume covers a town or a number of parishes.

• East Herts: Albury, Brent Pelham, Furneaux Pelham and Stocking Pelham
• East Herts: Anstey, Buckland, Hormead, Meesden and Wyddial
• North Herts: Ashwell, Bygrave, Caldecot & Newnham, Clothall, Hinxworth, Radwell and Rushden & Wallington
• East Herts: Aspenden, Cottered and the Town of Buntingford
• District of Welwyn Hatfield: Ayot St Lawrence, Ayot St Peter, Essendon, Hatfield, Northaw & Cuffley, North Mymms and Welwyn
• North Herts: Baldock Area
• East Herts: Bayford, Brickenden Liberty and Little Amwell
• East Herts: Area of the former urban district of Bishops Stortford
• Borough of Broxbourne
• East Herts: Eastwick, Gilston, Hunsdon and Widford
• East Herts: High Wych, Little Hadham, Much Hadham and Thorley
• North Herts: Kings Walden, Langley, Preston and St Pauls Walden

In addition I am selling off a pile of 275 different Hertfordshire Countryside magazines.

November 2014 Activity - December Plans

The problem with November is that, having decided to cut back on the time I spent on the site (see End of October post) I obviously didn't cut back as there were more posts in November (28) than in any month so far this year! - And there are several more in the queue to appear shortly. Because the site was busy the number of page views, at 7000 in November, is satisfactory, and the number of visitors to the main site is on target to exceed 250,000 again this year.

Hertfordshire Countryside

As a result of too much time on the computer my plans for "downsizing my library" (a very large collection of research notes, correspondence, books, papers, post cards, etc.) have not progressed as far as they should - but I am currently  advertising an "archive" of 275 copies of the Hertfordshire Countryside magazines on ebay (No131364158116) at a starting price of 10p a copy (They typically sell at £1-2 each). If they sell they will clear a useful bit of space - and if they don't they will probably end up in the waste paper collection as I need the space. I may sell off some other Hertfordshire items (books, booklets, post cards, etc.) over the next few weeks.

Help Desk

So my plan for December is to not start any new research projects - and while there will be a number of posts they will be on subjects where I have already done the research - or will be quickies of one kind or another. The "Ask Chris" help desk will not be closed - but most December queries will join a queue to be considered for action in the New Year.
