Clearing out your Broxbourne property

The sun is starting to make a more regular appearance and the blossom is on the cherry trees, so spring is finally here.

When we feel more drawn to sit out in the garden, we suddenly realise that there is work to be done before we can really start to enjoy our gardens and patios. This work will often involve creating a huge pile of waste materials to get rid of.

Garden clippings and general waste can create a virtual mountain in your garden, not to mention the rubbish that has been accumulating in the loft, garage or shed since the previous year. A skip hire is by far the best way to tackle this arduous task with ease.

Skip the tip with a skip!

Why load up your car with all manner of rubbish, running the risk of damaging the interior, only to sit in line for hours to offload it all at your local tip. Not only will you spend the majority of your free time doing this, you could easily end up spending more money on touch op paint from damage to your cars paintwork, to a professional valet to rid your car of the pong that so often accompanies a tip trip. Maybe even avoid the inevitable cost and inconvenience of a puncture that so many of us experience when we visit the local tip.

Where did Broxbourne get its name from?

The name of Broxbourne is believed to derive from the Old English words brocc and burna meaning Badger stream.

Some Broxbourne history

Broxbourne grew around inns on the Great Cambridge Road, now known as the A10. A number of old houses and inns dating from the 16th to the 19th centuries still line the High Street. The Hertfordshire Golf and Country Club is a 16th Century house with later alterations and additions.

The Manor of Broxbourne has an entry in the Domesday Book as Brochtsborne, where Broxbourne Mill is listed. The manor was held in the time of Edward the Confessor by Stigand, the Archbishop of Canterbury, but had passed into Norman hands following the Conquest of 1066. King John granted the manor to the Knights Hospitallers until the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII, when it passed to John Cock, after whose family Cock Lane is named.

The Broxbourne parish church of St Augustine was entirely rebuilt in the 15th century, although a 12th-century Purbeck marble font survives. The interior has a number of monuments and brasses dating from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The three stage tower has a belfry with a peal of eight bells, three of which are dated 1615.

The New River which passes through the centre of Broxbourne was constructed in the early 17th century.

19th Century Industry in Broxbourne

A terra cotta works was opened in the mid 19th century by James Pulham and Son, who specialised in creating artificial rock garden features; some of their work survives in the royal gardens at Sandringham House and Buckingham Palace.

Broxbourne railway station was built in 1840. The station was substantially redeveloped in the mid-20th century. It has been Grade II listed since March 2009.

Sadly, Pulham House was demolished in 1957. All that remained was one of the six brick kilns and the horse-drawn puddling wheel that ground the terracotta, which are now Grade II listed. The local council originally conserved these in 1986, and in 2016 full conservation was undertaken as part of a joint project between B3Living, Lowewood Museum and Broxbourne Borough Council, with support from the Heritage Lottery Fund so that future generations could enjoy this slice of Broxbourne history.

The area was exploited for its gravel and sand extraction in the twentieth century leaving numerous water-filled lakes. Several of the lakes form part of the Lee Valley Regional Park. This creates sporting facilities for the area such as fishing and sailing.

2012 Summer Olympics in Broxbourne

As part of the London 2012 Summer Olympics, Spitalbrook was chosen as the venue for white-water canoe and kayak slalom events. On 8 October 2007 the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) announced that due to contamination risks at the planned Spitalbrook site, an alternative site six miles south was being investigated. Subsequently, on 16 April 2008 it was announced that the venue would be built at nearby Waltham Cross and situated on what was the overflow car park for the showground at the River Lee Country Park. The venue was initially known as Broxbourne White Water Canoe Centre and later officially named Lee Valley White Water Centre.

Don't fall foul of the fly tippers

Why run the risk of using a man with a van? These operators frequently don't even have waste carriers licences. And sometimes they carry fake ones. You pay them the money, and if your waste is fly tipped down a country lane and you can be identified from it, you will be liable to prosecution. Although this may sound unfair, it is the law and it can land you with a very costly fine.

Go for a skip from a reliable company and rest easy.
