I'd love to see any pictures from the Hertford in Bloom competition for that year - I bet the flowers were HUGE after all that fertiliser!

Hertford's first trunk road, perhaps? Anyway, see how bad things have become.. years ago we had a full-blown circus walking through the town. Now we just have a bunch of clowns running it.
