IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Market Street, WATFORD, WD18 0PT

On the right is the former Empire/ABC/Cannon cinema that opened in about 1913 and closed about 1996. The front foyer is now occupied by Izzy's Barbers while the rest of the building is a Muslim community centre. Cassio Road changes to Merton Road at the cinema. This is the view from the top deck of a generally westbound 320 bus, but heading southwards here.

At the junction of Market Street and Exchange Road, the Church dates from 1890 and its website can be found here http://www.holyroodrc.com/index.html

The Cottage Hospital was built in Vicarage Road and opened in 1885 to the designs of the architect C P Ayres. It originally had nine beds, but in 1897, to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, a new six-bed ward and an operating theatre were added, and finally in 1903 two additional six-bed wards plus dining rooms and staff accommodation were added to bring the capacity to 27 beds. Although all the sandstone tablets are very badly eroded, busts of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII are still discernible in the smaller upper tablets to the right and left respectively, presumably representing the 1897 and 1903 extensions. The building, which is locally listed, has since been converted into offices and is now known as Victoria House.

Church is one of several multi-storey car parks in the town centre, photographed here on a snowy morning.
