Neat Victorian terraced housing, although not entirely typical of most of the housing in this grid square - most houses have small front yards. Leavesden Road viewed looking northwards at the junction with Copsewood Road.

These premises stand on the corner of St Alban's Road and Leavesden Road and were opened as a bus garage in 1920 by the London General Omnibus Company. By 1952 the garage had become surplus to operating requirements and was closed that year by London Transport. The brick wall seen here forms the rear of the former garage and abuts a short alleyway that leads off Copsewood Road.

This pub is in St Albans Road and was until recently The Stag as evidenced by the carving over the closed corner door. The pub dates from 1850 and was previously named the Bricklayers Arms and then the Queens Bays. The half-timbered building beyond is also a pub, now known as The Champions, but once The Leviathan and before that The Leviathan Steamer. It dates from 1839.

Situated in Leavesden Road near St Albans Road, this bus garage was opened on the 25th August 1920 by the London General Omnibus Company to operate bus services in the Watford area. However, it closed on the 17th June 1952 when LGOC's successor London Transport opened the bus garage at Garston, http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4622491 refers. Since then, it has been used for other purposes, but now it has been sold for redevelopment.

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.

Situated on the A412 St Albans Road WD24 5BD, this building was originally a Primitive Methodist Church which opened in May 1898 and became North Watford Methodist Church. However in 1971, it merged with Harebreaks Methodist Church, TQ1098 refers, and moved to that Church in Harebreaks a short distance away. Subsequently, it became Watford Elim Church, a Pentecostal Church. Early Service takes place here each Sunday at 9.00am, whilst Morning Celebration with Sunday School and Creche is held at 11.00am the same day. Evening Celebration is held here on Sundays at 6.00pm. The blue noticeboard has the following wording "EXPECT THE MIRACULOUS just one encounter with Jesus will change your life for ever".
