A new book featuring colourised photos from the 1950s and 1960s taken by the Watford Observer is set to be released. The book, titled 'Golden Shots and Visions of Blue', showcases a different era of Watford FC, when players had part-time jobs and the club was still gaining recognition. Proceeds from the book will go towards the Watford FC Trust Golden Memories project, benefiting local people with dementia.
The 144-page hardback book, printed in full colour in A5 landscape format, features dozens of photos from the 1950s and 1960s that were taken by the Watford Observer and have been painstakingly and lovingly colourised by Colin.It will retail at £15 with a proportion of proceeds going to the Watford FC Trust Golden Memories project, working with local people with dementia, as well as 25 copies being donated for their use.
“Photographs within the weekly newspaper were beginning to become more of a feature, presenting a more visual aspect to how the local news was reported. Hours were spent holding the plates up to a light in search of football-themed images, but it was time well spent as several hundred were identified and processed.
