Adeyfield: Cox's Pond
Now filled in but it was in the green on the left side of the road. Originally there was a Coxpond Farm on the right side of the road, but this was swept away during the construction of Hemel Hempstead New Town in the 1950s. The pond lasted much longer. The road is Leverstock Green Road and in the 1930s and 1940s was the A4147, the A road classification having now passed to Maylands Road to the east.

Belsize Close, Bennetts End, Hemel Hempstead
This part of the town was developed in the 1950s following the grant of 'New Town' status in the late 1940s. I found this on the local authority website for the area which encapsulates the post war history in a few words:
"The new town is one of the original 'Mark 1' types dating from the early
1950s. Today it has a population of approximately 81,000 (Census 2001).
Effectively it comprises a planned, linear town centre on the floor of the
Gade Valley with residential development extending up the valley sides.
Although important differences do exist, much of the housing is of a similar
size, design and layout, reflecting the original construction work carried out
by the Hemel Hempstead Development Corporation."
