Broxbourne
Broxbourne is a commuter town in the Broxbourne borough of Hertfordshire in the East of England which has a population of around 13,300 in 2001. Broxbourne is twinned with the Sicilian city of Sutera. The word Broxbourne is thought to derive in the Old English words brocc and burna which means Badger stream. The Manor of Broxbourne is mentioned in the Domesday Book, which mentions Broxbourne Mill. The area was exploited for its gravel and sand extraction in the 20th century. This stopped when the raw materials were depleted during the late 1960s leaving behind an array of water filled lakes. Several of the lakes became a part of the Lee Valley Regional Park. Though urbanised by industrial and commercial activity, the entire area still has a lot of its rural character and is liked by residents commuting to London. The New River which passes through the town centre, was constructed in the early seventeenth century. Broxbourne railway station was established in 1840. A terracotta works was opened soon afterwards by James Pulham and Son, who specialised in producing artificial rock gardens; some of their work survives in the gardens at Sandringham House and Buckingham Palace.
