IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Marlborough Road, WATFORD, WD18 0QD

This is the view from the top deck of a westbound 320 bus.

The Convent was built between 1890 and 1892, next door to Image It is Grade II Listed and the English Heritage website describes it thus:- "Purple brick with red brick dressings. Neo-late C17 style. Two storey and attic. Tiled hipped roof with 8 pedimented dormers. Wood modillion cornice at eaves. Irregularly spaced windows, glazing bar sashes in gauged brick headed surrounds. Apron panels below 1st floor windows. Projecting brick angle quoins at outer corners and separating 1st 3 window section from main 9 window block. Brick string between floors. Stuccoed main doorway set to right. Ionic half-columns and entablature, with small open pedimented niche above containing statue." A photograph of the building when nearly new around 1895 is available here http://www.holyroodrc.com/history/schools.html and, as can be seen, as originally built it only extended for the first five dormer windows. The satellite dish was probably not present during its convent days, and not worthy of a mention by English Heritage. The photograph was taken during a brief snow shower that fell on Watford during the morning of 17 January 2015.

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

This photo, taken in Exchange Road, shows the extension to this TE which was probably added during the 1970s to deal with an increase in telephone traffic. In recent years, this TE would have been fitted with digital equipment taking up less room so resulting in considerable space in the building. The original TE can be seen to the right of the photo.

Situated in Exchange Road, this TE dates from 1956 as indicated at the entrance. Extensions to this TE were added later and can be seen to the left and right of this photo. Also, mobile phone aerials have been fitted on the roof. The postcode of this TE is WD18 0GB.
