About Two Waters
Where to stay in Two Waters
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
A guest looking for a room in Two Waters comes up short. The district turns residential and industrial by turns, so most visitors take a bed toward central Hemel Hempstead and come down here for Frogmore Paper Mill instead of sleeping beside it. Apsley is the practical alternative.
Anything taken near the Church of St Mary or Apsley Community Centre puts a guest on the mill side of the town, which is the reason to be out this way at all.
About Two Waters
What are the main landmarks in Two Waters?
Frogmore Paper Mill heads the list. Papermaking gave the site its name, and the mill marks this corner of Hemel Hempstead more plainly than anything else standing in Two Waters. The Church of St Mary supplies the parish landmark.
Apsley Community Centre closes a short list, a hall rather than a monument, and the kind of building a district this size uses far more often than it photographs.
What is the history of Two Waters?
Two Waters keeps its past in names rather than in dates. Frogmore Paper Mill names the trade, the Church of St Mary names the parish, and Apsley Community Centre names the neighbourhood life that came to sit alongside them both. Recorded dates are thin here.
What survives instead is that spread of uses within one part of Hertfordshire's Hemel Hempstead, a mill site, a church, and a hall serving Apsley.
Where is Two Waters?
Apsley and Two Waters run into one another here, ground that Frogmore Paper Mill marks out as the working edge of Hemel Hempstead.
