Hire a skip in Abbots Langley

We all know what a chore it is to have a good and much needed clear out. The loft, the garage and the shed seem to accumulate all manner of stuff that we are convinced we will need, but end up never using it again.

The reason so much waste materials build up in these places is mainly because we really can't be bothered, or simply don't have the time to spend getting it all to the local tip. After all, it's not like it used to be! In days gone by we just took whatever we wanted to the tip and that was that. These days there is a major drive towards recycling and certain waste will not be accepted by your local refuse centre, leaving you frustrated and with the task of finding out what to do with it.

The simple solution is to hire a skip from us and we can deliver it directly to your Abbots Langley address. Clearly, not everything can go into a skip, but if you let us know what you have to dispose of, and we can advise you accordingly. Waste is our business, so we are experts in the field of waste management.

A little about Abbots Langley

The village of Abbots Langley has had a long history of human habitation. The first traces of human habitation in the area were recorded by archaeologist Sir John Evans who lived from 1823 to 1908. Abbots Langley sits on a saucer of clay covered by a layer of gravel, and as a result water supply has never been a problem; records show that in earlier times water could be drawn from a well a mere twenty feet deep.

In 1045 the Saxon thegn Ethelwine "the Black" granted the upper part of Langlai to St Albans Abbey as Langlai Abbatis, which is Latin for Langlai of the Abbot, hence the modern name of "Abbot's Langley", with the remainder being the king's Langlai. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 the village of Abbots Langley was inhabited by nineteen families.

The area was split into four manors: there was Abbots Langley, Langleybury, Chambersbury, and Hyde. In 1539, Henry VIII seized Abbots Langley and sold it to his military engineer Sir Richard Lee. The Manor of Abbots Langley was bequeathed by Francis Combe in his will of 1641 jointly to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge and Trinity College, Oxford. The manors of Langleybury and Chambersbury passed through the family of William Ibgrave, the king's embroider, and the Child family, and in 1711 were conveyed to Sir Robert Raymond then Solicitor General later Attorney General and Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. On the death of his son without issue in 1756 the manors passed to the Filmer family. The Manor of Hyde passed to Edward Strong in 1714, through his daughter to Sir John Strange, who left the manor to be shared between his children and their descendants, including Admiral Sir George Strong Nares and then to the possession of F.M. Nares & Co which sold the estate to the British Land Company in 1858.

Abbots Langley and its contribution to the Great Exhibition

On Tibbs Hill Road there is a well-preserved example of a Prince Albert's Model Cottage. The original design and construction was for the Great Exhibition of 1851, to demonstrate model housing for the poor. Subsequently, the design was replicated in several other locations, including Abbots Langley.

Kitters Green developed as a separate hamlet by Manor House. The land between Kitters Green and Abbots Langley was bought from the estate of Sarah Smith by the British Land Company in 1866. It laid out plots for development along Adrian, Breakspear, Garden and Popes roads. The development of these plots led to the merger of the two settlements and the loss of Kitters Green's separate identity. These road names are a clear acknowledgement of the only British Pope, Nicholas Breakspear, who chose the Papal name of Adrian.

Pope Adrian was born in Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire, but little is known of his early life. Although he does not appear to have received a great degree of schooling, while still a youth he travelled to the south of France where he was schooled in Arles, studying law. He then travelled to Avignon, where he joined the Abbey of Saint-Ruf. There he became a canon regular and was eventually appointed abbot. He travelled to Rome several times, where he appears to have caught the attention of Pope Eugene III, and was sent on a mission to Catalonia where the Reconquista was attempting to reclaim land from the Muslim Al-Andalus. Around this time his abbey complained to Eugene that Breakspear was too heavy a disciplinarian, and in order to make use of him as a papal legate as well as to pacify his monks, he was appointed Bishop of Albano in around 1149.

The West Coast Main Line railway passes through the western edge of Abbots Langley, where it crosses Abbots Langley Railway Bridge, a skewed brick arch, and Nash Mills railway bridge, originally built in cast iron but strengthened in the 1960s by encasing it in concrete. Both bridges are original features from the London and Birmingham Railway. They date from 1837 and are both Grade II listed buildings.
