The area was exploited for its gravel and sand extraction in the 20th century, that finally stopped when the materials ran out during the late 1960s leaving behind an area full of water filled lakes. Many of the lakes became a part of the Lee Valley Regional Park. Though it has been urbanised by industrial and commercial activity, the area retains a lot of its rural character and is liked by people commuting to London. The New River which passes by way of the town centre, was built in the early 17th century. Broxbourne railway station was built in 1840. A terracotta works was opened soon after by James Pulham and Son, who specialised in creating artificial rock gardens; some of their work is still in the gardens at Sandringham House and Buckingham Palace.
