High Streets & Hedgerows: Bayford & Little Berkhamsted

This year we worked with the wonderful people of Bayford and Little Berkhamsted on a new exhibition about their villages.

The exhibition opened on 7th March. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people have been unable to see it, so we are delighted to provide as much of the content of the exhibition that we can on this page.

The content of the exhibition is available here as a pdf:

We have made a short film about the exhibition which you can see here.

You can also listen to some of the oral history recordings we made here:

01 Carole Swain remembers her childhood in Bayford Village
