Letchworth ancient neighbour - Hitchin - sneaks into the edge of shot, now separated from Letchworth only by the fields of Harkness Roses

Letchworth - an otherwise small town in north Hertfordshire, England - is famous as being the world's first "Garden City", being founded in 1903 by Ebenezer Howard. Many social and planning innovations that we take for granted today first appeared in Letchworth. For more information on the town see here.
