Watford Fields Recreation Ground
The trials and tribulations of Watford FC during December 2009 when the club narrowly missed being placed into administration have been well-documented. Here an experiment by the club to turn the snowy conditions to their advantage by freeing up their usual goalkeeper to play in the outfield came to a premature end when a drunken reveller decapitated the Queen Victoria look-alike stand-in.

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 Image
