I'm trying to find some history on the High street in Berkhamsted - ideally no 102 currently a florist. I know its an old property but was wondering if anyone had any more information on the previous owners/ business etc . Thanks in advance. Sarah

I think the nice old building that contains the florist has been split up into a few shops.  Florist 102, next door 102a (same building, another business though), can't fully remember the numbering or what's currently there.  It's quite possibly that the whole building used to be 102.  Will have a little look next time I'm that way.

Hi

If you look at AncientShadows' posting then I can't believe that a General Labourer and family would live in a building that size on their ownsome.

You can google streetview it.
