Broxbourne is a commuter town inside the Broxbourne borough of Hertfordshire in the East of England with a population of roughly 13,300 as measured in 2001. The town is twinned with the Sicilian city of Sutera. The word Broxbourne is thought to derive from the Old English words brocc and burna meaning Badger stream. The Manor of Broxbourne is mentioned in the Domesday Book, which mentions Broxbourne Mill. The area was exploited for its gravel and sand extraction in the twentieth century, that finally stopped when the raw materials had been depleted during the late 1960s leaving behind an area full of water filled lakes. Lots of the lakes became part of the Lee Valley Regional Park. Although urbanised with industrial and commercial activity, the area retains its rural character and is preferred by people commuting to London. The New River which passes through the town centre, was dug out in the early 17th century. Broxbourne railway station was built in 1840. A terracotta works was opened soon after by James Pulham and Son, who specialised in developing artificial rock garden features; some of their work is still in the gardens at Sandringham House and Buckingham Palace.
