An Overview of the St Albans Pages
|
|
When this site was created in its current form in 2001 one page was created for each town, village, or ancient parish. One page was allocated for the Borough/City of St Albans, and one page each for St Michael's, St Peter's and St Stephen's parish. Other pages, some of which related to St Albans, were created under the headings such as "Topics," "Occupations," and "Books." Some "Answers" turned out to have information specific to St Albans, as did pages on "Occupations" and "Schools". I also posted several talks I had given about St Albans. Attempt to link them all to the one central page on St Albans became very confusing and as a result a significant reorganisation (and expansion) is in progress using multiple menus.
Clicking on the shield logo will always take you back to the St Albans "home" page.
Under Development
New information is currently being prepared and added, and there are other older pages which still need to be linked into the St Albans pages. The current menus are as follows.
