It would be great if you could help, Peter Ruffles has helped us with memories from oral history recordings and provided other information from other people. Some of the memories are in Neighbourhood Natters a Riversmead residents newsletter which can be found on http://www.riversmead.org.uk. The people who produce the newsletter are gathering more information from what people remember and hope to record some in the newsletter and eventually all of them in a booklet, the intention is that the booklet will also contain old photos and information about old buildings, characters who lived locally like the Dye family and the muffin man and other local things that people might find interesting. Any help will be gratefully received. Janice I need to amend the user name it did not accept my name so I tried Janet which it did accept maybe there is another user with my name.

I can't contact you as you don't seem to have e mail on here but mine should be there so get in touch and we can get together and I can bombard you with info about the muffin man and his son the pearly king our grandads brother! The family have been in hertford for 300 plus years so I am sure we can find something of interest!
