"The Town Inn", Hatfield New Town

In 1948 Hatfield was designated a new town and a new town centre was built according to a master plan devised by Lionel Brett (Lord Esher). The design of the public house is very typical of 1950s new town architect. Once no doubt full of optimism, the centre of Hatfield is a depressed area with a number a shop units closed and having a desultory air about it.
