My First Walk From Croxley to Watford

Cassiobury Park Gates 1921
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I would have been aged seven years when I first remember walking with my family from Croxley over the golf-links and Grand Union into Cassiobury Park.
The park was so beautiful with flower beds and a paddling pool and further along was a bandstand, people out for a walk were dressed finely and all was peaceful.
At the exit from the park was the wonderful stone gatehouse with iron gates that formed an impression in my mind of elegance. As I grew older and started to travel frequently to and from Watford along the Rickmansworth Road I would often glance over at the gates with fond memories.
