Towns, cities and regions, such as Borehamwood London have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune.
About Borehamwood London
Borehamwood is where the majority of the local residents live, and where local industry is based. In Victorian times this part of the Parish consisted of little more than a hamlet, clustered around Theobald Street and surrounded by farms. When Queen Victoria died in 1901 the population was only 1323; now it is around 30,000. All Saints Church began to be built at the turn of the century, and was consecrated in 1910. The adjoining Village Hall was built in 1920. A Baptist Chapel was opened in Station Road in 1903, but later became a cinema, then Council offices, then a public toilet, and is now a florists. A small school opened in Theobald Street in 1896, followed by Furzehill School in 1912 and Hillside in 1939. Both have since closed in a re-organisation of local education which has resulted in a new senior school called Hertswood, which opened September 2000, on the site of the Nicholas Hawksmoor School.
