I would like to find out more about Wormley
West End. I lived there from 1937 until 1947/8, when
the cottage was pulled down and our family was
rehoused at Hertford Heath. The cottage was known
as ‘ The Thatched Cottage, Broxbourne Woods,
Wormley, The cottage was about half a mile up the
fields above Wormley West End proper.
I do remember the Woodman pub and Carters Farm.

I lived Wormley high St from 1961-1971. My first job was at Beaumont farm Paradise hill. I went to the Woobman most Sunday lunch times and occasional Sunday evening, and couple week days most weeks. Loved every minute, the regulars, the place, Alex and Olive and Rose. Magic.
Hi All, We lived at Southlea, up the lane from The Woodman and past Carter’s farm.This was around 1965. I attended Cheshunt Grammer and worked nights at the pub as a potboy ! Alex Jones was the landlord and he ran the Woodman with his wife Olive and his sister and mother-in-law, aka « mum ». Quite a scene at that pub during the sixties ! I am still in touch with the local kids I grew up eith there. Remember Reg Bonvonni and the old cottages scattered around. What a place to grow up ! Would love to hear from anyone who knows what I’m talking about !
