Broxbourne is a commuter town inside the Broxbourne borough of Hertfordshire in the East of England with a population of about 13,298 in 2001. The town’s sister city is Sutera, in Sicily. The word Broxbourne is thought to find its origins in the Old English words brocc and burna which means Badger stream. The Manor of Broxbourne is described in the Domesday Book, which names Broxbourne Mill. The area was mined for its gravel and sand during twentieth century, that finally came to an end when the mineral reserves ran out in the late 1960s leaving an array of water filled lakes. A number of the lakes became part of the Lee Valley Regional Park. Although it has been urbanised by industrial and commercial manufacturing, the area retains much of its rural character and is enjoyed by residents commuting to London. The New River which passes by way of the centre of the town, was built in the early seventeenth century. Broxbourne railway station was opened in 1840. A terracotta works was opened soon after by James Pulham and Son, who specialised in creating artificial rock garden features; some of their work is still in the gardens at Sandringham House and Buckingham Palace.
