Adeyfield

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adeyfield is a former village and now a neighbourhood in Hemel Hempstead, in the English county of Hertfordshire. The Queens Square was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1950.

Tin Town In order to provide quick, easy and cheap accommodations after the second world war, Adeyfield was the chosen site for a set of temporary tin houses. The houses soon became known as tin town and still remain to this day. However the exterior tin has now been covered up by sheets of white wood and plastic on most of the houses.
