Description
The firm was the largest employer in Aylesbury for nearly a century, and was founded in London in 1839, opened a branch in Aylesbury at California (CAS 08043) in 1867 and moved to the Tring Road site eleven years later. Hazell's built houses in Walton Way for their employees in 1920 (B6).
Nothing shows on historic mapping for this area until the OS 6" 1919-27 edition when a short road of a few houses appears. On the OS 6" Emergency Edition 1938 map the road is extended, and again on the OS 6" Provisional Revised 1944-53 Edition map. By the NG 10k Edition of 1972-90 the map is more schematic, so houses may have been replaced or could still be there (B7).
