Man and Van Removals offers a wide range of service we provide in Hertfordshire. Herts is located immediately to the north of Greater London and is part of the East of England Government Office Region. Much of the county is part of the London commuter belt. To the east of Hertfordshire is Essex, to the west is Buckinghamshire and to the north are Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
As a part of the East of England region, the county of Hertfordshire is both a ceremonial and Non-Metropolitan county. The county covers a total area of 1, 643km2 and is home to approximately 1, 119, 800 inhabitants. Hertfordshire borders Greater London, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. The main town within the County of Hertfordshire is Hertford, which is also the area’s county town. In the county’s emblem, there are a total of three dears pictured – one is on the shield and then the other two are on either side of the shield and appear to be holding it. It is coincidental that the Hertfordshire emblem has dears on it, as the name Hertfordshire was taken from the Anglo-Saxon word ‘heort ford’ which means dear crossing. The first mention of Hertfordshire was in 1011 in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is thought that Hertfordshire has been inhabited by humans since the times of the Middle Stone Ages.
Throughout the years Hertfordshire expanded and developed quite a lot. By the time of the early 20th century, Hertfordshire’s population had increased dramatically as a result of it being conveniently close to England’s capital city of London. It was mainly after the industrial revolution that Hertfordshire really began to grow and the population soared dramatically. During the year of 1903, the town of Stevenage redeveloped under the New Towns Act 1946 and was the first town to do so. In the same year, the town of Letchworth was announced as the first garden city in the world.
For around sixty years, between the 1920’s and 1980’s, Hertfordshire was home to one of the country’s well known and most popular TV filming studios. The filming studios were based in the town of Borehamwood, one of which was the MGM-British Studios and was where many popular films were made. The 1996 James Bond film ‘Golden Eye’ was filmed here, as were other films and television programs including: The Harry Potter sequel, The UK’s Big Brother, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Eastenders and the first of the three Star Wars films.
