Here are a few photos from my parents’ photo albums of the 1960s and 1970s – I don’t know they had a photo of the old Welwyn Stores but there we go!
A lot of them is how I remember the old Garden City, especially the old train station where I used to get on a train to Stevenage then to Hertford. I worked at Welwyn Department for 6 years (1961 to 1967) and I certainly remember it!
I find it miraculous they’ve survived so well, so just a few more memories for you all to ponder over. Happy browsing 🙂

Yes Robert, I am aware nobody called it a train station then but I decided to at a touch of modernization in the article.
Thanks for these interesting photos, George.
One carping point: in 1959 nobody would have called it a train station; it was a railway station then. People are very busy now, so saving a syllable must be a godsend!
