More about Letchworth Hertfordshire
Letchworth, officially Letchworth Garden City, is a town in Hertfordshire, England. The town's name is taken from one of the three villages it surrounded. Founded in 1903, it was one of the first new towns, and calls itself the world's first Garden City. Its development inspired another Garden City project at Welwyn, and had great influence on future town planning and the New Towns movement. Today it has a population of around 33,000. Letchworth is twinned with Wissen, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Letchworth was the brainchild of Ebenezer Howard, the visionary Victorian social reformer whose books were to have a huge influence on urban planning at home and abroad. In 1898, horrified at the very unpleasant urban living and working conditions in the late 19th Century, Howard wrote a book outlining his theories for a completely new way of living. His book, 'Tomorrow, A Peaceful Path to Real Reform', was later republished as 'Garden Cities of Tomorrow' in 1902. Howard believed that the very best of both town and country life should be blended together in small Garden Cities, each with its own greenbelt. He promoted well-planned towns with careful land zoning and a quality of life. Architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin were appointed to design a master plan for the first Garden City using Ebenezer Howard's design for new communities. In 1903, First Garden City Ltd commenced the building of an experimental town on 3,818 acres of land at Letchworth, to prove that Howard's ideas were practical. The Garden City became a reality. Letchworth became a unique town where the profit from the management and development of the land was to be returned to the benefit of the town. Railway companies often ran excursions to Letchworth, bringing people to marvel at the social experiment and sometimes to mock it. One of the most prominent industries to arrive in the town in the early years was the manufacture of corsets: the Spirella Company began building a large factory in 1912, close to the middle of Letchworth and Lertchworth railway station that opened the following year. The Spirella building, completed in 1920, blends in despite its central position through its posing as a large country house, complete with towers and a ballroom. During the Second World War, the factory was also involved in producing parachutes and decoding machinery. Because corsets fell out of fashion, the factory closed in the 1980s, and was eventually refurbished and converted into offices. Another significant employer in Letchworth was Shelvoke and Drewry, a manufacturer of dustcarts and fire engines which existed from 1922 until 1990. One hundred years later, the Letchworth Garden City Estate comprises some 5,300 acres. It is owned and managed by Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation, an Industrial & Provident Society with charity status. In keeping with the original philosophy of First Garden City Limited, all profits made by the Heritage Foundation are ploughed back into the Garden City community through reinvestment in the Estate and charitable expenditure in accordance with the Heritage Foundation's charitable objectives. Several housing estates have been added to Letchworth since its inception: the Grange in 1947, Jackmans in 1961, and the more prosperous Lordship Farm and Manor Park in 1971. Letchworth Garden City estate began to turn in a profit in the 1970s, leading to investment in a number of town amenities: a working farm, Standalone Farm, in 1980, a leisure centre and a theatre named Plinston Hall in 1982, a free hospital (the Ernest Gardiner Day Hospital) in 1984, and major refurbishment of the town's cinema and shopping centre in 1996 and 1997. The Foundation celebrated the town's centenary in 2003 by building a landscaped path for walkers and cyclists. The path, known as the Greenway, forms a 20km loop around the town. During January 2005 Letchworth Garden City was recognised as having the first roundabout on a public road in the United Kingdom, dating from circa 1909. Letchworth is close to the A1(M) and 15 miles from the M1 motorway. The London Luton Airport is conveniently situated 12 miles away. |
