VE Day street party celebration in Salisbury Gardens. These two images were donated to the Welwyn Garden City Heritage Trust archive by Ernie S. He told us that very little motorised traffic was around in those days so dining tables were brought into the centre of the street and everyone donated food and drink. In the afternoon rain dampened the celebrations but Ernie still remembered ôall sorts of silly races - three-legged, wheelbarrow, etc. being run in the rainö!
