4000BC

even folks from the mesolithic period where stopping by to maybe chop some "wood".
back in 1984 my Aunt Ruby was having a tree stump removed from her back garden in delamere road when she came across this strange looking object ...



...Ruby took rather a shine to the thing and decided to put it on top of her fire place. Some time later while watching a tv show she noticed some similarities with the topic of discussion, further investigation revealed it to be a mesolithic axe, datable from 8500bc - 4000bc
Its now on proud display at Verulamium Museum in St. Albans.
Id like to thank the museum for sending me these great pictures !

one million years BC, circa 1966

Caveman Tumak is banished from his savage tribe... and ends up in the wood along with Loana, Ahot and Nupondi.

Hammer Films where located in Borehamwood for many years, and One million Years BC became their biggest hit, the movie created the iconic image of Raquel Welch in her furry bikini. I prefer this rather fancy crucifixion shot!


Was Loana crucified in borehamwood ?
