The fascinating story of a Jewish girl who fled Hitler's Germany and was evacuated to North Mymms #Hertfordshire. Speaking no English, she remembers being taken in by a "really special family". @HALHistory @herts_at_war

Washing clothing by hand with water from a brook, freshly made bread baked daily and delivered door-to-door, just some memories shared by a local resident who lived in Welham Green when it was a small village where "everyone just about knew everyone else". https://t.co/taY6mirxpq

Did Little Miss Muffet live at Moffats Farm, Brookmans Park? And was the nursery rhyme written by her father to amuse her?

In 1942, the 'Golden Fleece' made an unscheduled stop at Brookmans Park. On board was Vyacheslav Molotov. Waiting on the platform was Anthony Eden. The meeting would lead to the signing of the Anglo-Soviet Treaty. #Hertfordshire #history

Thanks for that mention. Mike Allen, the guy behind the "Mighty Men of Mymms" has put years of work into compiling this research which we are delighted to have put online. There is a wealth of private local #history research going on in #Hertfordshire that needs to be preserved.

[Hertfordshire Association for Local History @HALHistory]

A new website- Mighty Men of Mymms - tells the story of 59 soldiers lost in the Great War. A fascinating example of the world-class, private research being undertaken in Herts.
