Now Available - A Brave Vision DVD

The Trust has recently issued the DVD "Welwyn Garden City - A Brave Vision".

Produced by Angela Eserin, Steve Sullivan and John Watson and directed by Maggie Clarke it has a running time of approximately 55 minutes and was previously only available on video format.

Using archive footage it tells the story of Welwyn Garden City "a town built on an ideal of better living. A town founded by a near penniless Ebenezer Howard. A town which struggled to survive but which grew and flourished to become a varied balanced community of over 40,000 people. A town which has become one of the most internationally celebrated examples of a successful garden city".

If you are in Welwyn Garden City you can buy this DVD from Huttons Newsagents in Marsden Road or from Shoplands Post Office for £8.99. Copies of the DVD are available to purchase from the Trust priced £10 each which includes postage and packing.

Please make your cheque payable to The Welwyn Garden Heritage Trust and send it to us at the address below - don't forget to include your address for us to post the order.
