The Laundry Works development, Watford
As the name implies there was previously a commercial laundry on this site on Sydney Road. It is now being developed by Weston Homes who are building 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses. There will be eight separate 'architecturally distinctive' buildings.

Watford: Rembrandt House, Whippendell Road
This industrial works building is, I believe, a relic of Watford's past history of printing, and, I think, was originally built for and occupied by a company called Rembrandt Photogravure who produced posters and other similar items, hence the name of the works. The company was absorbed into Sun Printers around 1960, and subsequently printing production ceased at this site. Today the building, which has an approximate 120 metre long frontage along Whippendell Road, is in multi-occupancy business use.

Croxley Rail Link (14): Trackbed north-west of the former Watford West Station
For many years this view of the former L&NWR's Croxley Branch, from the Tolpits Lane road bridge, was completely obscured by a wall of tree vegetation. However all the trackside vegetation has now been removed in preparation for the development of the link, which is now formally known as the Metropolitan Line Extension. Unlike in other locations along the disused route the electrified third rail that powered trains in the last days of its Network Rail use is still largely in place, although hopefully turned off...
