After leaving Harpenden we decided to head to Welwyn Garden City for lunch, and on the way we briefly stopped at Hatfield, just to visit the Waterstones. Hatfield was a village, but when a new town in the area was proposed it was decided that rather than redevelop the village it would be created on the opposite side of the existing railway line – it was completed in the 1950s. The Waterstones in Hatfield is situated in the Galleria designer which opened in the 1980s. It has the feel of an airport terminal about it!
