Watford: A41 North Western Avenue

This is the view looking east from the footbridge that connects Leggatts Way and the present-day Leggatts Rise. When it was first built this section of the current A41 was the A500, and was also known then as Leggatts Rise. The name Leggatts came from the long-lost Leggatts Farm which was in the vicinity of where No 60 Clarke Way is now, away to the north. The central reservation crash barrier has been removed at some time although the posts are still in place. The slip road on the left is from the A405.
