Ray

i have posted this to update the thread.

thanks again for your help. i am awaiting the return of some emails which might help throw some light on this.

possibly found something about a wind mill at ridgehill which could be interesting and certainly makes sense given the height of the location. food for thought !!

your help is much appreciated - thank you

Hertfordshire / Re: Local Knowledge Needed - Shenley Hospital

this is just a thought and may not lead to anything, but as an institute, the hospital i'm guessing would have used the same undertaker. probably had a contract with one, presumably local. It might be worth trying to locate undertakers local to the area and see if they have any records?

like i said, just a thought.

good luck

the current property was sold to them around 1974 from the tyttenhanger estate or the caledon estate. they have no recollection of the buildings i'm looking for which are quite visible on the 1960's map.

i seem to be going round in circles using the links provided.

i've searched under ridge hill / ridgehill / ridgehill farm / stables etc

any more thoughts or ideas much appreciated

thanks

Jerry

Hi Ray,

 that link doesn't work for me ??

the map i'm using is from  www.old-maps.co.uk/maps html

it wont let me clip and paste  :(

type in the post code wd7 9bg  and choose ridgehill stables.

then choose the map from the choices on the right. the one i'm refering to was the 1960 post - ww II

if you click the enhanced zoom ( zoom in 3 clicks) and look at the very centre of the map that is the area i'm talking about.

there are two buildings?? and a pond ??  about  20mm above the letters LP. those are what i am enquiring about as they no longer exist.

sorry for the longwindedness of this but i'm not particularly PC literate !!

again i appreciate all help

thanks

Jerry

Hi Ray,

i don't mean the school. i am looking for information on the buildings at the top of the bend of the road. i have seen maps from around 1930 and up to 1960 showing more buildings than are currently there and i was hoping to find out what type of buildings they were. they would have been part of the tyttenhanger estate ( or tittenhanger) and could possibly have been a farm? after 1960 (the last dated map i can trace) they disappear, possible due to road changes (m25) etc etc.

google earth doesn't go back far enough

i have been searching in vain to try to trace parish rates but with no success.

any help is much appreciated.

ps

the duplicate thread is because this area  definatly came under middx before it came to be in herts

hope that helps

There is already a Hertforshire parallel topic, here ........................

Hi Ray and thanks for the interest. i put it in both as this area was subject to many boundary changes over the years and earlier records may well have come under middx
