Organisers who spent six years planning a garden city’s centenary celebrations said they were taking recent challenges due to coronavirus “in our stride”. The Welwyn Garden City Centenary Foundation planned more than 100 events with the main day this Wednesday. It was that on date in 1920 that the Welwyn Garden City Limited company was established. Local historian Angela Eserin said: “Solicitors set up a new bigger company called Welwyn Garden City Limited to build the town, and it was incorporated on 29 April 1920.” The foundation has also produced a short film.
