Green Street was once a separate village from Borehamwood but is now on the edge of its urban area.
Green Street is the modern name for the road which runs through the area, north to south, and which connects Borehamwood with Shenley.
On maps issued in 1900, the southern part of the hamlet is shown as being called Greenstreet Hill, dominated by a large house called ’Campions’ (later giving its name to a local school).
Two farms, Leggats Farm and Cowleyhill Farm once lay to the south.
The main part of the village in former times lay to the north of the modern junction with [Stapleton Road, WD6" target="_top">Stapleton Road].
The village supported two pubs at the turn of the twentieth century - the
Red Lion and the
Green Willows | This website does not sell maps. Instead it offers a subscription service via Substack. Paid Substack subscribers can get old maps/satellite views in printable A2 PDF format.
