Welwyn Garden City is located in leafy Hertfordshire, approximately 22 miles north of London. The town was the idea of Ebenezer Howard and was designed by architect Louis De Soissons. It is internationally acclaimed as a fine example of planning and landscaping. The building of the first Welwyn Garden City homes began in 1920. By the end of that year, the first 50 homes in Handside Lane were built. |
