Watford Elim Church
Watford's Elim Church is here in St Albans Road and was formerly a Primitive Methodist Church, with quite elaborate architecture for a building of that ilk. The curtilage of the site stretches back from St Albans Road to Leavesden Road and looking at old Ordnance Survey maps it is evident that the first development on the site was a small chapel on the Leavesden Road frontage, shown on the map of 1899.
