Wednesday 4th 2002 I am back at your web site looking over familiar terriotory having spent many days cleaning the houses in Barkhamsted after the August flood in 1955. As a person who worked for the Peoples' Forest we were assigned to clean the mud out of many peoples' homes. In fact, my first beer was drank on the lawn of a house in Barkhamsted. I was 18 back then. I just read Paul Hart's note, Barkhamsted Historical Society, asking for information on the Hitchcock Chair factory. Sorry, for the long response to your inquiry. I may need more space to answer your questions so you may email me at JBDucker@aol.com and I would be glad to respond. Keep this site going it is great.
