The changing nature of retail means high streets are always evolving – and Watford is no different.
Using Google Maps, we’ve taken a look at how the centre of town looked in 2009 and 2012 and recall some of the shops and businesses that have either ceased trading or moved to different premises in the town.
Take a trip down memory lane on a journey in 15 pictures that begins at the junction of High Street and Clarendon Road and travels past Charter Place and the Harlequin Centre to its conclusion at the ‘blue pyramid’ at the corner of Water Lane. Along the way you’ll see some major high street brands of the past, together with some smaller shops you may have forgotten once visiting.
A view across High Street from the junction with Clarendon Road.
