About Fencing in Welwyn Garden City
Welwyn Garden City was founded in 1920 by Ebenezer Howard as the second garden city in England, built to his vision of combining the best of town and country living, with wide leafy avenues, generous green space and no more than a dozen houses to the acre. Architect Louis de Soissons laid out the town around a long central boulevard, giving it a distinctive, orderly character that still defines much of the town today.
