Cassiobury Drive is the main road through the Cassiobury Estate, which was developed for housing in the parkland of the former Cassiobury House. The Cassiobury Estate was originally owned by the Earls of Essex, but, after the death of the 6th Earl in 1892, it was gradually sold off on a piecemeal basis during the early 20th century, Cassiobury House itself being finally demolished in 1927. This view of Cassiobury Drive, looking towards Watford town centre, was taken at the junction with The Gardens on the briefly snowy morning of 6 April 2008.
