Berkhamsted: The BFI National Archive Kingshill site
It seems only right and proper that a project whose aim it is to record photographic images of the British Isles should archive the British Film Institute (BFI)'s own National Archive. So for the record this is the rather unprepossessing entry to their Kingshill site in Berkhamsted. In fact the old tiled barn beyond the gates obscures the view to several large modern archive buildings behind and the site is actually known as the J Paul Getty Junior Conservation Centre.
The archive was originally set up as the National Film Library in 1935 and its first curator was Ernest Lindgren. In 1955 its name became the National Film Archive, and, in 1992, the National Film and Television Archive. It was renamed the BFI National Archive in 2006, although the sign outside the site here, inside the red railing, has not yet caught up with the change.
The 1883 edition of the Ordnance Survey 6" to the mile map shows an isolated farmstead named Kingshill on the site with the same layout of buildings as visible here.

Berkhamsted: Kingshill
This is another view of Image, but of interest here is the black wooden granary store mounted on brick piers. The road is the A416 named Kings Road on this side of the bend, and Kingshill Way on the far side.

Berkhamsted: A416 Kingshill Way
Kingshill Way has always been the main entry road into Berkhamsted from the Chesham direction and the 1940s Ordnance Survey map shows the same arrangements that are in place today. However what is new are the red town entry railings on either side of the road, just a little way along from the 30 mph signs, and designed and positioned to psychologically emphasise that you are now entering a residential area.
