Hertford in 1921
A picture of the people who lived and worked in 1921 in Hertford has been built up using the census returns taken on 19th/20th June; Kelly’s Directory of Hertfordshire, 1922 and Bennett’s Business Directory: Herts & District, 1922-23. (The original date for the census was the night of 24th/25th April but industrial unrest caused the date to be deferred.)
The owners and/or managers of the shops along with the residents have been compared with those mentioned in the 1911 census to discover who was still living there and what changes have taken place after ten years.
