Watford: Cassiobury Park
This is one of several attractive plantings at the Rickmansworth Road entrance to the park. The original castellated entrance gates to the Cassiobury estate and Watford Lodge were both in this vicinity until they were demolished in 1967 during the widening of the road.

Watford Central Baths
The demolition continues. The side walls are going and the trees flanking the north-east side of the building have been grubbed out. The blue pool cover, however, is still in place as is the PA system above it.
Watford Borough Council plans to replace the building with a new leisure centre with a pool, gym and sports hall http://www.watford.gov.uk/ccm/content/leisure-and-community/leisure-centres-in-watford.en

As Watford Central Baths is dismantled, features such as this fine brickwork round the main window, hidden for forty years or more behind the offices built over the entrance hall, come into view for the last time.

Watford Central Baths
View of the front of Watford Central Baths. Opened in May 1933, it was reputed to be the first all-electric (i.e. electric heating as well as lighting) swimming baths in England - possibly in the world! In October 2005 it is no longer all-electric. It has been under threat of closure for many years but still provides bathing facilities for the people of Watford.
