Construction work commenced in 2009 on this new centre for the Watford Community Church, being built on the site of the ill-fated Watford Springs Leisure Swimming Pool. The building will eventually have a glass frontage, circular in plan, with an image of a cross picked out in coloured panes. The website for the church centre, showing an image of the proposed final building, is here http://www.the-wellspring.org/index.html The site had been derelict since 2001 when Watford Springs was demolished, having been closed the year previously when Watford Council decided that major faults in the building meant that it was cheaper to demolish it than repair it. Watford Springs itself was built in the 1980s(?) as a contribution to the community in return for permission to construct the Harlequin Centre Image
