About Fencing in Waltham Cross
Waltham Cross takes its name from one of the surviving Eleanor Crosses, medieval monuments erected by King Edward I to mark the resting places of his wife's funeral procession in the thirteenth century, one of only three still standing in England today. The town sits on the Hertfordshire and Essex border, its modern character shaped by the shopping centre and residential estates that grew up around the older crossroads settlement.

Types of Materials found in Waltham Cross
Waltham Cross sits within the Lea Valley, where river deposits of sand and gravel overlie chalk bedrock typical of this part of Hertfordshire, generally giving reasonable drainage in the valley itself. Ground closer to the River Lea can be softer, with alluvial deposits typical of the valley floor, while higher ground away from the immediate riverside is generally firmer, benefiting from the underlying chalk found across much of the wider county.
