Lost Rickmansworth, Croxley Green, and Chorleywood vividly depict the numerous losses and transformations that have occurred in this picturesque area over the past century. As the reader embarks on a captivating journey of discovery, fond memories are stirred of the local cinemas, long since departed, where for a few hours one could immerse themselves in the celluloid world of make-believe, enveloped in the smoky atmosphere of the auditorium. Regrettably, industries like Walkers boatbuilding, Moussecs sparkling wine, and the John Dickinson paper mills have likewise vanished, irreplaceable and deeply missed. Nevertheless, numerous buildings have endured, including Croxley House, The Cedars, and Chorleywood House, though now repurposed for different purposes than their original intended functions. Within its pages, this book holds a wealth of information that will captivate those who possess a vivid recollection of what has been lost and relegated to memory, as well as those eager to explore the history of this small town and the neighboring villages in south-west Hertfordshire.
