Lost Watford portrays a vivid picture of the many losses and
changes that have taken place over the last 100 years, as the
reader embarks on an interesting journey of discovery around the
old market town. Lovely buildings such as Cassiobury House, the
seat of the Earls of Essex, and the historic park gates, both long
gone and now just a memory. We remember too much-loved shops such
as Clements and Cawdell's where each delightful visit was a
shopping experience in itself. Fond memories are evoked as well of
the many lost cinemas in the town, where for a few hours one could
escape to the celluloid world of make-believe in the smoky
atmosphere of the auditorium. Sadly, major industries such as
printing, brewing and the production lines of Scammell Lorries have
similarly disappeared into the mists of time, all irreplaceable and
much missed. Lost Watford presents a portrait of this town in
Hertfordshire and a way of life that has radically changed or
disappeared today, showing not just the buildings, streets and
industries that have gone or changed, but also a way of life. This
fascinating photographic history of lost Watford will appeal to all
those who live in the town or know it well, as well as those who
remember it from previous decades.
