About Hemel Hempstead - show infohide info
Hemel Hempstead is a market town in the county of Hertfordshire, with a population of 81,143 inhabitants as of 2001. Hemel Hempstead is usually referred to as just 'Hemel'. The town was mentioned in the 1089 Domesday Book, though evidence of habitation can be traced back much longer than this. The Church of St Mary was built in the town in 1140, and the church has one of the tallest spires in Europe. In Tudor times, Hemel Hempstead was granted a market charter by King Henry VIII. The King and Anne Boleyn are reputed to have stayed in the town at around the same time. Hemel steadily expanded, becoming a borough during the Victorian era. After World War II, Hemel continued to expand outwards, and it hit a population of 80,000 inhabitants around the 1980s, with new developments enveloping the old town. In the 2001 census, Hemel Hempstead became the most highly populated town in Hertfordshire, overtaking the town of Watford, which has traditionally been larger. In December 2005, Hemel Hempstead was rocked by the largest peacetime explosion in Europe since World War II, when the Hertfordshire Oil Storage Terminal (known as Buncefield) blew up in a series of violent explosions. The explosions were heard across Hertfordshire, and as far afield as Holland and Belgium. 300 people were made temporarily homeless, but only 2 people were seriously hurt. No-one was killed, mainly due to the fact that the explosion occured at dawn on a Sunday morning. A number of companies have large offices in Hemel Hempstead, including Kodak, BP, Epsom, Fujifilm, Next, Xerox and Unisys. Hemel Hempstead is also home to the famous 'Magic Roundabout', a large roundabout made up of 5 mini-roundabouts, which is renowned for confusing drivers.
