Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire, is situated in the Lea Valley. It grew up as a coaching stop on the route between Cambridge and London - more than 35 coaches a day would pass through the town in the 18th century.

Historical bullet points:

• Hoddesdon was said to be a day's march from London and so was a handy resting place for armies and other travellers on their way north to Cambridge or the northern towns and cities.
• What is now the High Street was littered with inns.
• Brewing was an important industry for the area, especially in neighbouring towns Hertford and Ware.

Contemporary bullet points:
