Redbourn House was probably the most important building in Redbourn High Street at one time and was visited by the Queen Mother on numerous occasions.
It was demolished some time ago and the 'doorway' was recognised for its importance and was taken to St. Albans museum to avoid it being lost forever.
It was reassembled and erected on the side of the museum building. Unfortunately it was neglected and soon became overgrown with shrubs and ivy.
Recently the museum closed and Redbourn Museum asked, "Can we have our doorway back?"
They said, "YES" and here it is arriving back at Redbourn Museum
A fortnight ago, a team of volunteers laid the stones out to show how the doorway had looked before being demolished.
There is now a fund-raising campaign to assemble it in Redbourn Museum garden to preserve it for everyone to admire.
More to follow...
