Today's timely photo for #MemoriesMonday is another from the Mary Hanson Collection.  Showing Shenley Road with a lovely rainbow and probably taken from Hanson's shop. Note the garage and Green Shield stamps sign in the foreground and the red phone box over the road. Date?

On #MemoriesMonday we have a new Christmas Card for you. A super drawing by Alan Lawrence that shows the old Village Hall with a queue waiting to enter the 'Xmas Bazzar'. On sale now in the Museum for only 50p. What memories do you have of seeing Santa in the Village Hall?

#MemoriesMonday A long running store in Borehamwood since the mid 1950's, and much missed. When it first opened most products were only 6d. A bit like the pound shops now, but with better pick'n'mix. And don't forget their own record label Embassy Records with cover versions.

Here's a photo of Shenley Road featuring All Saints and the trees surrounding the Village Hall.  Next week we get to the Hall itself, long before 96 was built. #MemoriesMonday

Some of our young visitors dress up in the Police Box to show us how to deal with the Mayhem of the current exhibition Murder, Mayhem and Mystery. Complete with helmets and squeaky truncheons! Come and visit us and wear a mustache as well if you fancy.

#MemoriesMonday - Shenley Road : here is a shot of Double Vision next to Hansons in 2000. And on the other side was Khaled Balti House. Anyone got any reviews for us?  Before Tripadviser of course, so we'd love any Memories of the curries and videos.

A while back we posted 3 clues for 3 different stories in the Murder Mayhem & Mystery Exhibition. Whilst the museum is closed, we thought it would be a great time to reveal the answers. 1) The First Trail by Newspaper 2) Murder of Tunnel Navy in 1867 3) The Elstree Murder 1882

Our new Exhibition is called Your Museum At 10 and is a sort of 'greatest hits'. It features many of the best items from our previous 15 exhibitions and lots of your favourite memories of Elstree and Borehamwood.  So we will have Hansons, the Village Hall, the Lynx Club

and a working model of the station as it was in 1900 among many other delights.  Our photos show the team hard at work with the new railway layout, and you might spot the Village Hall in the background.  Opening this Saturday at 10 am. See you there!

Half-term may be over, but here's a photo for #MemoriesMonday of the start of a brand new term at a brand new school. The opening ceremony at Borehamwood Grammar School on 31st October 1956, nearly 70 years ago. Is that you in your new blazer or tunic?

It's Christmas! Well, nearly. It's coming up fast, so make sure you have your local Christmas Cards ready to send out. Get them from us - the Museum has over 35 designs featuring local snow scenes and paintings. Still only £1 for the large and 50p. for the small.
