Letchworth Garden City

Sydney-based journalist and author Keith Howes visits Letchworth Garden City in the county of Hertfordshire in England where he was brought up and educated. He tells us about the history of the city and we meet some of the locals including the famous statue of Sappho. Letchworth was one of the world's first new towns and the first garden city. It also inspired other cities such as Canberra in Australia and Hellerau in Germany. There is even a story that Lenin visited Letchworth. One of the city's inspirations was social reformer Ebenezer who wrote a book called Garden Cities of To-morrow. George Orwell lived in the nearby village of Wallington and that is where he wrote his books 1984 and Animal Farm. The 2013 film World's End was largely filmed in Letchworth. The city was also home to Britain's first roundabout.
