Uncle Davey’s Herts Content S2 E3 – Bovingdon Royal Oak and Broadfield School Fete

Original YT playout date: 18 July 2008
Duration: 12:12

“We visit the Royal Oak in Bovingdon village by Hemel Hempstead whose decor commemorates the American servicemen who helped Britain win the Second World War, and without whose help it would have been even more difficult than it was to beat Hitler’s forces.

After that we look at a typical English school fete, this time at my old junior school, Broadfield School, which hasn’t changed a bit.

Uncle Davey’s Herts Content S2 E1 – Journey Over to Herts

Original YT playout date: 12 July 2008
Duration: 25:34

It’s a second series of Uncle Davey’s Herts Content. This time we go there by car, unlike last time in the plane. Here we see Strykow in the days when the motorway didn’t go all the way to Warsaw.
