Belsize Close, Bennetts End, Hemel Hempstead
This part of the town was developed in the 1950s following the grant of 'New Town' status in the late 1940s. I found this on the local authority website for the area which encapsulates the post war history in a few words:

"The new town is one of the original 'Mark 1' types dating from the early
1950s. Today it has a population of approximately 81,000 (Census 2001).
Effectively it comprises a planned, linear town centre on the floor of the
Gade Valley with residential development extending up the valley sides.
Although important differences do exist, much of the housing is of a similar
size, design and layout, reflecting the original construction work carried out
by the Hemel Hempstead Development Corporation."
