TL2006 : Sleapshyde

near to Colney Heath, Hertfordshire, Great Britain

Sleapshyde
Sleapshyde
Up until the 1930s and the building of the North Orbital Road nearby, Sleapshyde was just an isolated rural hamlet with a farm, a pub, a chapel, and a few cottages. Since then it has expanded considerably. This green is the historical centre of the hamlet. The grey metal post in the centre carries a nameboard with "Sleap's Hyde", while old Ordnance Survey maps from the 1870s up to the 1930s describe the hamlet as Sleepshyde.
