DKHomeImprove_Ad02:Layout 1 Welcome to the May issue of on the button. The Three Counties Asylum story seems to have captured a lot of attention and I have been delivering ‘back copies’ to quite a few people to read the whole story. This month sees Part 4 of the feature, written and supplied by Richard Knight. Richard is quite an authority on the hospital and its history. Both Richard and his wife he will be holding an exhibition of photos and memorabilia at Stotfold Memorial Hall. The celebration Day is to commemorate 155 years since the hospital opened, and will see DJs from Fairfield Radio along with a variety of stalls relating to the whole hospital. Please go along on the 28th June and delve into the archives of this mysterious and fascinating site. I’m pleased to say that recent months has seen ‘on the button’ grow in pages and circulation. It is my intention to fill every issue with news, information and history from all surrounding areas, so whether you have an exhibition, a fun day, bell-ringing practice or a custom car show I would like to add this to the pages. I recently attended a funeral at Harwood Park in Stevenage. It was the funeral of a dear friend who sadly passed away after a long fight with Cancer. Benedict Funeral Directors were employed to oversee the proceedings and I can honestly say it went very smoothly. The presence of the staff unobtrusive, but they were there at the right moments. Overall just what you would want. Well done Benedict. It has come to our attention that in the March issue we ommitted to place the correct information when publishing details of electoral information. ‘on the button’ would like to apologise for this and any confusion it may have caused.
