Good Old Watford

A Memory of Watford.

I was born in Watford in 1934 and went to school at Callow Land and Alexandra Secondary Modern. We lived through the war years in Elm Grove. I used to work in Trewins all day Saturday then go to the market and buy mum a bunch of violets. I loved the markets hustle and bustle. My parents moved to New Zealand in 1952 because they were sick of the rationing. In 1991 my husband and I moved to Australia. My fondest memory of Watford is biking all over, swimming and picnicking at the aqua drone, Ricky, and lovely walks at Chenies. My father worked at Benskins for many years. I have always been proud of Watford and hold very fond memories of my first 17 years of life there. I only wish I could go back to visit, but old age has caught up with me.
