A FEW WORDS FROM THE FAMILY

Our family moved to 28 Great Ley in 1965 from a much smaller property. We were only the second occupants since the house had been built a decade before.
The four bedrooms allowed each of us three children to have our own room, rather than sharing as we had before. The big garden gave us plenty of space for play, despite the large vegetable patch that Dad made his own. School was just a short walk away; the railway station a little further for exciting visits to London.
The house was always well maintained, as Dad worked in the building trade. A skilled carpenter, his legacy can be seen particularly in the fitted units in the living room. Mum and Dad both lived in the property for many years after we had grown up and moved on.

ABOUT WELWYN GARDEN CITY

Welwyn Garden City was founded by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the 1920s and designated a new town in 1948. It was aimed to combine the benefits of the city and countryside. Welwyn Garden City was an escape from life in overcrowded cities to a place of sunshine, leafy lanes, countryside and cafes. Emphasis was placed on the Garden City's healthy environment. Today the town centre is a busy and bustling place with a selection of shops. The Howard Shopping Centre is located in the centre, where you can find a selection of high street favourites including John Lewis. There is also a Waitrose, Sainsburys and ALDI. There is also a quaint cinema, showing the latest films. If you fancy a spot of lunch the town is home to a plethora of coffee shops, independent restaurants and well known chains including the French restaurant Cote which overlooks the fountain and for a real buzzing atmosphere.
