Berkhamsted | Historic Market Town in England 🏴
Berkhamsted lies on the western edge of Hertfordshire, bordering the Chiltern Hills. Over much of the last millennium it was an important market town with strong royal and literary connections; today it is a vibrant residential and cultural centre, and while it is now part of the Borough of Dacorum it has retained its own strong identity. Together with the adjoining village of Northchurch it is separated from other towns and villages by lovely countryside, all of it in the Metropolitan Green Belt and much of it classified as being an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Berkhamsted Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the county of Hertfordshire, and around 25 miles northwest of central London, is the town of Berkhamsted.
The name 'Berkhamsted' is Saxon in origin and literally translates to 'settlement among the birches' or 'settlement among the hills'. It was here in 1066 that the Saxon leaders offered the crown of England to William the Conqueror after his victory at the Battle of Hastings. One of William's first initiatives was to fortify his new kingdom with castles. Not long afterwards, construction began on Berkhamsted Castle in the motte and bailey style.
Between 1066 and 1495 Berkhamsted Castle was a favoured residence of many notable figures, including Henry II, Thomas Becket, Edward, the Black Prince (son of Edward III) and Geoffrey Chaucer. The town was a producer of wool during ...

Narrowboat Man About Berkhamsted S2Ep20 #therexberkhamstead #maximiselife #narrowboat
A Man about Town from the home of a narrowboat with a quick look around Berkhamsted. I was impressed by this small town as it appears to have kept to the basic principle of shops in amain street with the side streets offering entrepreneurs opportunity. The Rex cinema is something to be admired. It's a must go to and so are many of the pubs.

Located in the county of Hertfordshire, and around 25 miles northwest of central London, is the town of Berkhamsted.

It was here in 1066 that the Saxon leaders offered the crown of England to William the Conqueror after his victory at the Battle of Hastings. One of William's first initiatives was to fortify his new kingdom with castles. Not long afterwards, construction began on Berkhamsted Castle in the motte and bailey style.
Between 1066 and 1495 Berkhamsted Castle was a favoured residence of many notable figures, including Henry II, Thomas Becket, Edward, the Black Prince (son of Edward III) and Geoffrey Chaucer. The town was a producer of wool during the Medieval era, with a thriving market.
In 1495, following the death of Cicely Neville, Duchess of York, Berkhamsted Castle was abandoned and the town fell into decline. Meanwhile, the nearby town of Hemel Hempstead began to grow, and was granted a charter by Henry VIII just a few decades later.
In the pre-railway era, Berkhamsted became a key town on the coaching route between London and Birmingham. Horses and their passengers would rest overnight at coaching inns situated in the town. Then in 1798, the Grand Junction Canal reached Berkhamsted from London. The canal reached Birmingham by 1805, and would eventually become part of the Grand Union Canal in 1929. The canal allowed goods to be transported between London and Birmingham via the waterways.
In 1838 the railway reached Berkhamsted. This would become a stop along what is now the West Coast Main Line linking London to Glasgow via the West Midlands and North West England. Due to its proximity to London, Berkhamsted is ideally situated as a commuter town for those working in the capital as trains into Euston Station take under an hour to arrive.
During the First World War, around 12,000 men travelled from Berkhamsted to the Western Front. Before leaving, they had been given extensive training in trench digging. Several miles of trenches were dug on Berkhamsted Common as practice.

Places to see in ( Berkhamsted - UK )
Berkhamsted is a medium-sized historic market town on the western edge of Hertfordshire, England. The affluent commuter town is located in the small Bulbourne valley in the Chiltern Hills, 26 miles northwest of London. Berkhamsted is a civil parish, with a town council within the larger borough of Dacorum.
People have been living in the Berkhamsted area for over 5,000 years. There is evidence of flint working in the Neolithic period and metal working in the late Iron Age and Roman periods. The high street is on a pre-Roman route known by its Saxon name Akeman Street. The earliest written reference to Berkhamsted is in 970AD. Berkhamsted was recorded as a 'burbium' (an ancient borough) in the Domesday Book in 1086. The oldest known extant jettied timber-framed building in Great Britain, built 1277 - 1297, survives as a shop on the town's high street.
The most important event in the town's history was in December 1066. After William the Conqueror defeated King Harold's Anglo-Saxon army at the Battle of Hastings, the Anglo-Saxon leadership surrendered to the Norman encampment at Berkhamsted. The event was recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. From 1066 to 1495, Berkhamsted Castle was a favoured residence held by many English royals, including Henry II and Edward, the Black Prince; and historical figures such as Thomas Becket and Geoffrey Chaucer. After the castle was abandoned in 1495 the town went into decline, losing its borough status in the second half of the 17th century. Modern Berkhamsted began to expand following the construction of the canal and the railway in the 19th century.
Among those born in Berkhamsted was Colonel Daniel Axtell, who was the captain of the Parliamentary Guard at the trial and execution of Charles I in 1649. The towns literary connections include the 17th century hymnist and poet, William Cowper, the 18th century writer Maria Edgeworth, and the 20th century novelist Graham Greene. The town is the location of Berkhamsted School, a co-educational boarding independent school, founded in 1541 by John Incent, Dean of St Paul's Cathedral; and Ashlyns School a state school whose history began as the Foundling Hospital established in London by Thomas Coram, in 1742. The town is home to the Rex Cinema (a highly regarded independent cinema) and the British Film Institute's BFI National Archive at King's Hill, one of the largest film and television archives in the world, which was endowed by J. Paul Getty, Jr.
The next stage in the town's transport history occurred in 1834 when, after opposition from turnpike trusts and local landowners was resolved, the first Berkhamsted railway station was built by chief engineer Robert Stephenson. Though the castle was the first building to receive statutory protection from Parliament, the railway embankment obliterated the old castle barbican and adjacent earthworks. Most of the raw materials used to build the railway were transported via the canal.
The majority of Berkhamsted's eighty-five listed or scheduled historical sites are on in the high street and the medieval core of the town (a significant number of them contain timber frames). Four are scheduled, one is Grade I, seven are Grade II*, the remaining 75 are Grade II. he Berkhamsted Canadian totem pole sits adjacent to the canal, close to Castle Street Bridge. In the early 1960s, Roger Alsford, a great-grandson of the founder of the timber company, James Alsford (1841–1912), went to work at the Tahsis lumber mill on Vancouver Island.

🚄 INFORMATION KEY
Train Numbers – e.g. 43032 or 800110 – These are train numbers which are specific to that train. No trains can be numbered the same. Locos are 5 digit numbers where the first two numbers are the class of train e.g. 67010 would be a class 67. Multiple Units are 6 digit numbers where the first three numbers are the class of train e.g. 390154 would be a class 390. Click Here to learn more
➤ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS#TOPS_numbering_under_British_Rail
Headcodes – e.g. 1F32 or 5M00 – These are used by the railway signallers to determine where trains are on the network. Every train within a region has a specific four code ID. Click Here to learn more
➤ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_reporting_number
Set Number – e.g. WB64 or NL04 – These are semi-permanent loco hauled coach formations which are kept together for formalities. The first two letters usually indicate the maintenance depot responsible e.g. OC is Old Oak Common, LA is Laira. The number indicates the rake number.
