The original Market Street became the High Street, with its diverse shops and other businesses over the OLD TOWN P CAR PARK following eight centuries, leaving a wealth of clues to its past. From the departure of the Roman armies to the coming of the Second World War, this mile long length of road was the focus of most life in the Gade Valley. Stretching along the western facing hillside above the river, its line was crossed to the north 4 by pilgrim ways between Ashridge and other religious houses; to the south, it was bounded by the route to St Albans; further south, by the main London road. 13 The Charter given to the town in 1539 by Henry VIII set the scene for the years to come. The growing community had Church, 6 14 15 Chapels, Markets, Town Hall, Iron Works and a Fire Station. Its numerous inns and alehouses were not just places of 5 refreshment, but were used by all manner of local organisations.
