The Marquis of Granby - Batford, Herts - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

The pub is at 31 Marquis Lane, Batford, Hertfordshire AL5 5AE.

During WW2 a large Prisoner of War camp was located in Batford adjoining what is now Common Lane and prisoners were present there until about 1947. When they had gone, the camp buildings were used to house local people who were waiting for housing which was in short supply at the time. Within a few years, a large housing estate was built on the site of the POW camp by the local authority.
