Hatfield was a staging post along the Great North Road which was used by horse drawn coaches to travel from London to the North. Every morning at 7am a coach with the name of Sovereign set off from The Eight Bells Inn at Hatfield. The 17th Century coaching inn has been referred to as being the location in Dickens Oliver Twist where Bill Sykes laid low after the murder of Nancy in Oliver Twist. Dick Turpin is also said to have leapt from one of the upper windows onto his horse Black Bess, and galloped away as the Bow Street Runners came in to arrest him.
