Knebworth House\u2019s Sherlockian Archivist Jill Campbell just happened to be reading the newspaper the other day \u2013 the newspaper from Saturday 25th<\/sup> September 1909 (as you do) \u2013 and came across this photo and caption which resonated.\u00a0 This is my great-grandfather Victor Lytton explaining to his neighbours his plans \u2013 drawn up by his brother-in-law Edwin Lutyens \u2013 for a new development around Knebworth Station, to be called Knebworth Garden Village.<\/p>\n

His \u201cremarks were listened to with great interest.\u201d\u00a0 I bet they were.\u00a0 I can imagine just how his audience felt about building all over the green fields at Deards End Farm, Gun Farm and Swangleys Farm.\u00a0 I am pleased for him he was carrying a big stick.\u00a0 Those sharp-edged boaters look like they could be formidable weapons at short range.<\/p>\n

At some point over the next couple of months, I shall be doing something similar.\u00a0 I shall be trying to explain to my neighbours how new development up the hill from Knebworth Station, initiated by the Local Plan, might not be as bad as it sounds if we can persuade County Highways and North Herts Planning Officers to allow us to do it well\u2026 and how we\u2019ve consulted on as a village for 27 years.\u00a0 That\u2019s not a given without our politicians\u2019 support, so I rather fancy carrying a big stick too, to deflect any sharp-edged boaters frisbeed from the front row.<\/p>\n
