When we move forward almost to the present day the last ice age
moved down upon us and two fingers of ice stopped one at Aldenham
and the other at Finchley.
Man and animals lived south of the ice and moved north again when
the ice melted. These people were known as Neolithec people and
were mostly hunters, gatherers and lived in surrounding hills in
this area especially out towards the present day Hunton Bridge.
As the ice and glaciers melted so the seas rose and this country
started to separate from the continent. Present day geologists cannot
agree as to how this came about. Some think that there was a land
bridge from East Anglia across to Holland and others that there
was a land bridge further south. It is believed that huge lakes
joined up and the melting ice was aided by the emptying of the Thames
and the Rhine. The old Proto Thames which ran through Wall Hall
and Park Street may have emptied out at today’s Wash. However
it happened the crossing of man and animals from the continent to
us or vice versa ceased.
