Following on from

Watford: The new Wellspring Church Centre
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

Watford: Watford Museum (rear)
This building was once a mansion dating from 1775, with these full height curved bays with triple windows, at the rear, being added circa 1807. In 1868 the building became the head office of the adjacent but now demolished Benskin's Brewery, and later Watford Museum. It is Grade II Listed.

Watford High Street station
The unprepossessing exterior of Watford High Street station. Only local trains call here as it is situated on a loop away from the main line, (for main line trains you have to go to Watford Junction). From the date of this photograph, responsibility for this station and its trains has passed to Transport for London and the line is now part of the London Overground.
