Herts Growth in Welham Green

Welham Green is a village in the parish of North Mymms, Hertfordshire, sitting just west of the historic Great North Road route and now hard against the A1(M). It grew into a small village over the last century, helped considerably by the 1986 opening of its own railway station on the East Coast Main Line between Brookmans Park and Hatfield. Recent housing development has brought the village closer to neighbouring Hatfield, though residents — including the North Mymms Green Belt Society — have worked to preserve its separate village character.
