Brief description

"Letchworth Garden City holds a very special place in modern British history. As the first garden city in the world, its neatly planned streets, attractive cottage housing and wide green spaces offered an alternative to the squalor of urban life in early 20th century Britain. The site of the UK’s very first traffic roundabout, Letchworth Garden City has been the home of the rare black squirrel since 1912.

The visionary behind Letchworth Garden City was social reformer Ebenezer Howard and what he created here became a model for town planning across the globe. Its unique heritage embraces a wealth of architectural styles from Arts and Crafts to Art Deco including an original cinema built in 1936, the world famous Spirella Building and an eclectic Arts Centre."
