About the event

Lecture: Growth of Harpenden 1860-2040

‼️ Tuesday 18 November at 8pm. Note date for next history society lecture. Fascinating that the pre-1860 village layout still dictates the shape of the town today. Learn what triggered population expansion when the railways arrived and what may influence future growth
