More about this scene

From the 17th century through until 1922, Cassiobury Park was the home of the Earls of Essex. The ivy-clad lodge gates, built in 1802, outlasted Cassiobury house itself and were only finally demolished in 1970.

My First Walk From Croxley To Watford
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.

On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.
