Land has also been reserved for a hotel, but to date April this remains derelict. Recently construction began for a sports centre for year olds, to be completed in summer The former John Dickinson Stationery mills site, straddling the canal at Apsley, was redeveloped with two Retail parks, a Sainsbury's supermarket, 3 low rise office blocks, housing, a mooring basin, and a hotel.
A further office block is planned. Some buildings have been retained for their historic interest and to provide a home for the Paper Museum. An indoor shopping mall was developed adjacent to the south end of the Marlowes retail area, and in the Riverside development designed by Bernard Engle Architects was opened, effectively extending the main shopping precinct towards the Plough roundabout.
The new centre includes several outlets for national retailers including Debenhams , Starbucks , HMV , Waterstones , and more. These two developments have moved the "centre of gravity" of the retail centre away from the traditional market and the north end of Marlowes has become an area for secondary outlets.
Further extensive redevelopment of the northern end of Marlowes has recently October been given the green light and is scheduled to be complete by Isle of Man based residential developer Dandara is currently redeveloping the former Kodak headquarters into a residential development to be known as "Image".
Since the Buncefield fire the former Maylands Avenue factory estate, badly affected by the fire, has been re branded as Maylands Business Park and a 40 tonne sculpture by Jose Zavala called Phoenix Gateway placed on the first roundabout off the M1 to symbolise its renewal. The now disused mill site at Nash Mills is being redeveloped to build housing and community facilities, retain some historic buildings and use various watercourses as amenities.
A wide range of sports and physical activities are catered for within the town and its immediate locality. Most sports facilities in the town, and the wider borough, are provided through Sportspace the operating name of Dacorum Sports Trust.
They have operated several facilities including a Sports Centre, Swimming Pools and Running Track previously run by Dacorum Borough Council and others sited at schools, since April Dacorum Sports Trust is a non-profit company limited by guarantee and a registered charity managed by a Board of Trustees.
Surpluses profits are reinvested into sports facilities. Nicknamed The Tudors , they play at Vauxhall Road in the Adeyfield area of the town; this was the site of the former sports club for the employees of Brocks Fireworks. There are, of course, many amateur sides throughout the town.
The club's home ground is in Chaulden. Hemel Hempstead Town Cricket Club, founded in , has a pitch and practice facilities at Heath Park, near the town centre. Hemel Hempstead has an indoor Snow Centre, a real snow indoor sports venue which, opened in April , and offers a range of indoor snow based sports and activities.
Dacorum Athletic Club is based at Jarmans Park. Leverstock Green Tennis Club provides courts and coaching for members and other courts are available in public parks. The local authority Dacorum Borough Council provides the infrastructure for several of the sports mentioned above. In addition, there is a sports centre at Boxmoor and shared public facilities at a number of secondary schools, provided via Sportspace.
These provide multi-purpose courts badminton , basketball , etc. There are also private, member only gymnasia. There are two hole golf courses just outside the south western edge of the town. There is also a nine hole course Boxmoor also located on Box Lane. There are six state maintained secondary schools in the town:.
There are also independent fee-paying schools in, or adjacent, to the town:. In addition there is a West Herts College Campus based in the town centre. In , the local education authority has judged that there are too many primary school places in the town and has published proposals to reduce them.
A list of schools taking children of primary age is at Primary schools in Dacorum. At the May General election the seat changed from Labour to Conservative. Hemel Hempstead, as part of the Borough of Dacorum, is twinned with:. Historically, the area was agricultural and was noted for its rich cereal production. The agricultural journalist William Cobbett noted of Hemel Hempstead in that "..
In there were 11 watermills working in the vicinity of the town. The chalk on which Hemel is largely built has had commercial value and has been mined and exploited to improve farmland and for building from the 18th century. In the Highbarns area, now residential, there was a collapse in of a section of old chalk workings and geological studies have been undertaken to show the extent of these workings. In the 19th century, Hemel was a noted brickmaking , paper manufacturing and straw-plaiting centre.
The cress beds were redeveloped as the modern-day Water Gardens. Joseph Cranstone's engineering company was founded in , and was responsible for much of the early street lighting in the town as well as it first gasworks. In Cranstone's son built a steam powered coach which he drove to London, but which was destroyed in a crash on the return journey. A local Boxmoor pub commemorates the event. In the first automatic papermaking machinery was developed in Hemel by the Fourdrinier brothers at Frogmore.
Paper making expanded in the vicinity in the early nineteenth century and grew into the huge John Dickinson mills in the twentieth. A traditional employer in the area was also Brock's, manufacturer of fireworks. The factory was a significant employer since well before World War II, and remained in production until the mids.
The present-day neighbourhood of Woodhall farm was subsequently built on the site. From to , it was home to one of the most remarkable newspaper experiments of recent times, when the Thomson Organisation launched the Hemel Hempstead Evening Post-Echo.
This comprised two evening papers - the Evening Echo and the Evening Post - and was based at a modern headquarters in Mark Road which had previously been used as a hot water bottle factory.
The dual operation was conceived by Lord Thomson of Fleet to take on the Northcliffe and Beaverbrook domination of the London evening paper market and tap into what he saw as a major source of consumer advertising. The papers were remarkable not only for technological innovation but also journalistic excellence. Both the Evening Echo and Evening Post won design awards during the late s and early s, but it was the Evening Echo that took the major writing honours, with John Marquis being voted Provincial Journalist of the Year in and Melanie Phillips being named Young Journalist of the Year in Many outstanding journalists worked on both papers during their heyday, with several going on to be editors and leading Fleet Street figures.
Unfortunately, the operation fell victim to the freesheet revolution of the s, the titles closing in with the loss of jobs. Hemel Hempstead has a mixture of heavy and light engineering companies and has attracted a significant number of information technology and telecommunications sector companies helped by its proximity to London and the UK motorway network.
However, and again in common with many new towns it has a much narrower business base than established centres, particularly Watford and St Albans. Hemel is famous for its " Magic Roundabout " officially called the Moor End roundabout, or "The Plough Roundabout" from a former adjacent public house , an interchange at the end of the town centre Moor End , where traffic from six routes meet.
Traffic is able to circulate in both directions around what appears to be a main central roundabout and formerly was such , with the normal rules applying at each of the six mini-roundabouts encircling this central reservation. It is a misconception that the traffic flows the 'wrong' way around the inner roundabout; as it is not in fact a roundabout at all, and as such no roundabout rules apply to it. It was the first such circulation system in Britain.
Hemel claims to have the first purpose built multi-storey car park in Britain. Built in into the side of a hill in the Marlowes shopping district, it features a giant humorous mosaic map of the area by the artist Rowland Emett.
The new town centre contains many sculptures by notable artists from the s including a stone mural by sculptor Alfred Gerrard entitled Stages in the Development of Man. The new town centre is laid out alongside landscaped gardens and water features formed from the River Gade known as the Watergardens designed by G.
The main shopping street, Marlowes, was pedestrianised in the early s. Hemel also was home of one of the first community based television stations West Herts TV which later became Channel For many years the lower end of Marlowes featured a distinctive office building built as a bridge-like structure straddling the main road. This building was erected on the site of an earlier railway viaduct carrying the Hemel to Harpenden railway, known as The Nicky Line. When the new town was constructed, this part of the railway was no longer in use and the viaduct demolished.
The office building, occupied by BP , was designed to create a similar skyline and effect as the viaduct. In the early s it was discovered that the building was subsiding dangerously and it was subsequently vacated and demolished. Adjacent to BP buildings was a unique double-helix public car park. The lower end of Marlowes was redeveloped into the Riverside shopping complex, which opened on 27 October A few metres away, overlooking the 'Magic Roundabout', is Hemel's tallest building; the storey Kodak building.
It was then temporarily reoccupied in after the Buncefield explosion destroyed Kodak's other Hemel offices. It is now being converted into apartment homes.
