To mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two, Broxbourne Council has produced this trail of sites within the Borough with links to World War Two.
A map of key World War Two sites in the Borough, which you can find below, includes:
- Lieutenant Ellis Way where an American Air Force bomber crashed
- Burnt Farm where an anti-aircraft gun emplacement was located
- The Borough’s four war memorials
- Locations where bombs dropped in the Borough
- Sites of pillboxes
- The role played by Broxbourne Aerodrome
- Locations where Nissen huts and air raid shelters were made
Not every location could be included, so to find out more, we recommend a visit to Lowewood Museum in Hoddesdon to access their extensive collection.
The creation of the trail was one of many events created to mark the 80th anniversary. These included a film screening, flag raisings, and a Lowewood Museum exhibition titled 'Broxbourne at War'. You can find out more in this press release.
